Myzam Benama (22), a former captain of the France U-20 national team and a promising player for Valencia, has left the club following an unfortunate incident.

Spain's 'Marca' reported on the 28th (local time) that "Benama was arrested on charges of domestic violence and admitted to the intensive care unit after a major traffic accident, and as a result, his contract with the club was terminated."

According to the report, the incident began at Benama's home in Spain. Neighbors heard a severe argument coming from his house and reported it to the police, who arrested Benama at the scene. Although Benama's girlfriend did not file a formal complaint, he admitted to the charges during the trial, resulting in a fine and a criminal record.

Shortly after the incident, when his girlfriend returned to France, Benama drove his personal vehicle to find her and caused a serious traffic accident. As a result of the crash, Benama was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for several weeks and received intensive treatment.

After his discharge, Benama and Valencia agreed to terminate his contract. This came just a few months after he joined the club with a long-term contract extending until 2028 during the winter transfer window. Benama has now closed all his social media (SNS) accounts and returned to his home country, France, as a free agent (FA).

As a former captain of the France U-20 national team, Benama initially gained the trust of manager Miguel Ángel Angulo and performed well, but following these incidents, he was excluded from the squad starting from the 28th round of the league. His time at Valencia ended with a modest record of five appearances (three starts).
