Faced with persistent defensive fragility, Sheffield United is exploring the path of a loan for Moroccan international Chadi Riad . Currently under contract with Crystal Palace, the 22-year-old central defender could bring the necessary stability to Chris Wilder’s squad to start a climb up the Championship table.
It had been in the works for a few weeks already, and it is now official. Olympique de Marseille has announced the arrival of Moroccan striker Ziyad Baha (16 years old). Son of former international Nabil Baha (20 caps), the young striker, who has played for Malaga and Betis, will discover a new club by signing with Marseille.
The hope of Moroccan football, Gessime Yassine , has been recruited by RC Strasbourg for an amount of seven million euros. He is entrusted with the mission of strengthening the Alsatian attack after his U20 World Cup title won with Morocco and his remarkable performances under the colors of Dunkerque.
The Everton club is closely following the situation of the Moroccan international striker Youssef En-Nesyri with a view to a possible transfer during this January transfer window. While Everton’s interest is real, the discussions are not yet at an advanced stage and no official offer has been made to Fenerbahçe for the 28-year-old striker.
The future of Noussair Mazraoui at Manchester United is dotted as the Moroccan defender is currently playing in the Africa Cup of Nations.
As the Africa Cup of Nations continues in Morocco, Hakim Ziyech has spoken about his absence from the Atlas Lions’ list. The Moroccan international, now a member of Wydad, described Walid Regragui’s decision as "logical" and reaffirmed his support for the group in the running.
He is the new sensation of English football. Othmane Maamma , the young Moroccan prodigy of Watford, is in the sights of the biggest Premier League clubs. Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle are already in the running to try to recruit the one who was named best player of the last U20 World Cup.
The Belgian adventure is cut short for the Atlas Lion. Sofiane Boufal , who was no longer in the plans of coach David Hubert, has been released from his contract by Union Saint-Gilloise. The attacking midfielder is leaving the Brussels club with a league title in his pocket, but a mixed individual record.
Crowned with his historic title as U20 World Champion with Morocco and top assist provider in Ligue 2, Yassine Gessime has become too big for Dunkerque. The Moroccan winger, who recently tormented Strasbourg’s defense, is at the heart of a royal battle between several heavyweights in Ligue 1 and Europe.
He is the enigma of the national team. Capable of flashes of brilliance as well as lulls, Azzedine Ounahi divides supporters. While his lukewarm performance against the Comoros raised questions, Walid Regragui steps up to defend his "metronome" before the clash against Mali.
The Gunners don’t want to waste any time. A few days before the opening of the transfer market, Arsenal has officially launched the major maneuvers to secure the services of Ayyoub Bouaddi . The London club would be ready to sign a check of 45 million euros to snatch the gem from LOSC as early as this winter.
Olympique de Marseille is preparing to recruit a young talent from the Moroccan youth system. The French club would have reached an agreement with Ziyad Baha , a 16-year-old striker who stood out during the last U17 World Cup.
