Al-Mu'attasim Billah Ali Mohamed Al-Musrati (Arabic: الْمُعْتَصِم بِالله عَلِيّ مُحَمَّد الْمِصْرَاتِيّ; born 6 April 1996), known simply as Al-Musrati, is a Libyan professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Serie A club Hellas Verona, on loan from Beşiktaş.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Vitória de Guimarães
[edit | edit source]Reserve team
[edit | edit source]In January 2017, Al-Musrati signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Portuguese side Vitória de Guimarães on the recommendation of former player Romano Sion.[2] He began playing for their reserve team in LigaPro, and on 4 March 2018 scored his first goal to equalise in a 1–1 draw away to União.[3]
First team
[edit | edit source]On 5 August 2019, Al-Musrati made his debut for the first team, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 win at Feirense in the second round of the Taça da Liga.[4] Thirteen days later he made his Primeira Liga debut in a 1–1 home draw with Boavista and was third-place in the vote for the league's best midfielder of the month, behind Bruno Fernandes and Pizzi.[5] On 12 December, he scored his only goal for the first team, equalising in a 3–2 comeback win at Eintracht Frankfurt in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League; his club was already eliminated.[6]
Loan to Rio Ave
[edit | edit source]Al-Musrati was loaned to Rio Ave of the same league on 29 January 2020, for the rest of the season.[7] He, Diogo Figueiras and Nuno Santos were sent off on 17 June in a 2–1 home loss to Benfica.[8]
Braga
[edit | edit source]On 31 July 2020, Al-Musrati signed a four-year deal at Braga, joining his former Rio Ave manager Carlos Carvalhal.[9] His first goal was on 26 November, to open a 3–3 home draw with Leicester City in the Europa League group stage;[10] three days later he struck for the first time in the top flight to win at the Estádio Municipal de Braga against Farense.[11] He was voted the league's Player of the Month for February 2021.[12]
On 15 August 2023, he scored a goal in a 4–1 away victory over TSC during the 2023–24 Champions League third qualifying round,[13] to be the first Libyan to score in UEFA Champions League.[14] A month later, on 20 September, he made his Champions League group stage debut in a 2–1 defeat against Napoli,[15] to be the second Libyan to achieve this feat[a].
Beşiktaş
[edit | edit source].jpg){kind=link}
On 9 February 2024, Al-Musrati joined Turkish Süper Lig club Beşiktaş on loan from Braga until the end of the 2023–24 season, in exchange for a €1 million loan fee, with a subsequent mandatory buy-clause of €11 million (conditional on performance), which could rise to €13.5 million with add-ons.[16][17][18]
On 13 February 2024, the club officially announced that they used mandatory buy-clause of €11 million and Al-Musrati completed a permanent transfer to Beşiktaş. Al-Musrati thus became the most expensive transfer in Beşiktaş history.[19] Later that year, on 23 May, he scored his first goal for the club in the fourth minute of stoppage time in the Turkish Cup final, securing the winning goal in a 3–2 victory over Trabzonspor.[20]
Loan to Monaco
[edit | edit source]On 3 February 2025, Monaco announced the transfer of Musrati on loan from Beşiktaş until the end of the season, with a purchase option.[21] On 7 February 2025, he played his first game with the club, a 1–4 Ligue 1 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain,[22] becoming the first Libyan to play in Ligue 1.[23]
On 3 May 2025, he scored Monaco’s second goal in a 3-1 win against Saint-Étienne,[24] becoming the first ever Libyan to score in Ligue 1.[25] However, he was severely injured during the game, and it was his last appearance for Monaco.[26]
On 19 May 2025, Monaco announced that they would not purchase Al-Musrati, and that he would return to Beşiktaş.[27]
Loan to Hellas Verona
[edit | edit source]On 29 August 2025, Serie A club Hellas Verona announced that they had signed Al-Musrati on a season-long loan with an option to buy.[28]
Two days later, on 31 August 2025, he played his first game with Hellas Verona, a 0-4 defeat against Lazio in Serie A.[29]
International career
[edit | edit source]Al-Musrati was first called up for Libya at the 2014 African Nations Championship in South Africa, and played all but one game including the penalty shootout win over Ghana in the final.[30][31]
On 8 October 2024, Al-Musrati announced his retirement from international football, citing personal reasons.[32]
