Al-Qadisiyah Nears Finalizing Moroccan Deal

Al-Qadisiyah has entered advanced stages in its negotiations with Moroccan Sofyan El Karouani, the Utrecht defender, in preparation for signing him during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The newspaper [Africa Foot] confirmed that the negotiations between the two parties have seen significant progress, after an agreement was reached on most of the financial terms of the contract.

Only the contract duration remains to be finalized, as the Al-Qadisiyah management insists on a long-term contract spanning five seasons, as part of their plan to maintain the team's stability in the future.

On the other hand, the Moroccan player prefers to sign a shorter three-year contract, as he wishes to keep the opportunity to return to European fields in the coming years.

The parties are currently considering reaching a consensus that includes a three-year contract, with the possibility of extending for an additional two seasons under specific conditions.

Al-Karawani has the freedom to move for free this summer, as his contract with Utrecht is nearing its end, prompting Al-Qadisiyah to act quickly to finalize the deal early.

Reports revealed that the offer made to the player is the largest in his career, as it includes a signing bonus, annual salaries, and incentives tied to appearances and individual performance.

Sofyan El Karouani had an outstanding season in the Dutch league and successfully strengthened his presence with the Moroccan national team recently, which increased his value in the transfer market.
