Moroccan Star Amine Harit’s Career Plummets After Troubled Year

To better know the current value of the player, you have to go to the Transfermarkt site which was consulted by the specialized site Lions de l’Atlas. Worth 25 million euros a year ago, his transfer is now estimated at only 10 million euros, a loss of more than half of its value. Huge therefore for the world of football.

A key player for the German club Schalke 04 during the 2017-2018 season, just before the World Cup, he has gradually been relegated to the bench by his coach and the management, who blame him for his lack of seriousness on the pitch and his off-field antics. The player, according to local media, had an addiction to gambling, a rumor quickly swept away and denied by the player. Added to this, bad luck and repeated injuries.

The coach of the Atlas Lions also commented on the player, whom he did not hesitate to sanction for not showing up on time for training. Questioned during the post-match press conference against Malawi, the coach explained: "Harit had a disciplinary sanction, that’s why he’s not in the 18. You have to respect the hours when you’re in a group, the sanction is to set an example," Renard had replied. He will give him another chance a few months later against Malawi and Argentina.

This trust is now renewed with the pre-list unveiled for Morocco’s next matches against Zambia and Gambia, and let’s hope for him that he will join the group to play the Africa Cup of Nations and above all let’s pray that he will find the spark and the desire to (really) play again.
