Saphir Sliti Taïder (سفير سليتي تايدر; born 29 February 1992) is an Algerian international footballer who plays for Italian club Bologna and for the Algeria national team.
Taïder made his professional debut with Grenoble on 15 May 2010 in a league match against Marseille. On 5 July 2010 he signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a three-year deal with Grenoble.
Following Grenoble's fall to the Championnat de France amateur 2, the fifth division of French football, due to financial problems in 2011, Taïder joined Italian club Bologna. On 16 January 2012, he made his first start in Serie A in the 1–1 draw against Napoli. A day later, it was announced that Taïder was signed by Juventus on a co-ownership deal for €2,425,000 in which the Dane Frederik Sørensen heading the other way for €2.5 million, effectively made Bologna acquired Sørensen for €75,000 in cash plus player deal. Taïder remained on loan at Bologna for the rest of 2011–12 season. In June 2012 Bologna bought back Taïder for €2.35 million, making Sørensen's registration rights worth €2.425 million cash at that time.
On 19 August 2013, he joined Internazionale on a four-year deal (in a co-ownership deal) for €5.5 million and the loan of Diego Laxalt. On 26 August 2013, he made his debut for Nerazzurri in a 2–0 home victory against Genoa, coming on as a substitute for Ricky Álvarez in the 85th minute. In June 2014 the co-ownership deal between Bologna and Inter Milan was renewed. However, on 1 July Inter bought him outright for €2 million, with Lorenzo Paramatti returned to Bologna for €1 million.
