The Italian club Cremonese announced today, Saturday, the completion of a deal to sign Moroccan international Youssef Maleh, coming from Lecce, as part of their efforts to strengthen the team's midfield for the remainder of the season.

Malih joined Cremonese on loan until the end of the current season, with a clause obligating the club to activate the option for a permanent purchase upon meeting conditions agreed upon by both parties. This reflects the coaching staff's confidence in the player's abilities and his potential to make the anticipated contribution.

The Moroccan midfielder has extensive experience in Italian football, having previously played for clubs such as Fiorentina, Empoli, and Lecce. He has gained significant experience in both Serie A and Serie B, thanks to his physical presence and his ability to perform defensive and offensive roles, as well as linking the lines.

On the international front, Youssef Maleh continues to make appearances with the Moroccan national team since 2023, having been included in the squad for the matches against Cape Verde and South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, indicating his ongoing consideration by the coaching staff.

This deal represents a new opportunity for Malah to regain stability and deliver strong performances, while Cremonese seeks to strengthen the balance of its midfield and achieve its goals for the current season.
