This Moroccan defender that Sheffield United absolutely wants to recruit

Sheffield United, currently seventeenth in the Championship, is looking to tap into the loan market to make up a nine-point gap on the playoff places. Despite a recent 3-1 win against Ipswich Town, Chris Wilder’s men have conceded 39 goals in 28 matches. In this context, the management of the Bramall Lane club has made the recruitment of a defensive reinforcement a priority before the close of the winter transfer window.

The technical staff of the Blades is turning to Crystal Palace to obtain the loan of Chadi Riad. The Moroccan international, who is returning from a cruciate ligament rupture, has limited playing time within the Eagles’ squad despite the recent transfer of Marc Guehi to Manchester City. For the player trained at FC Barcelona and who has passed through Real Betis, an integration in South Yorkshire would be an opportunity to regain the regularity of play essential to secure his place in the national team before the next World Cup. And we know that Walid Regragui was counting on him!
