Mohamed Wahbi Expands Search for New Talents for Morocco National Team

Mohamed Wahbi, the coach of the Moroccan national team, is intensifying his efforts across Europe in search of new talents that could be considered for the 'Atlas Lions' in upcoming competitions, as part of a plan aimed at expanding the pool of options available to the coaching staff.

Wahbi continues his tour across several European countries to monitor Moroccan players or those of Moroccan descent, directly evaluating their technical and physical levels before making decisions regarding the possibility of calling up some names to the senior national team.

Abdullah Wazan is at the forefront of Wahbi's transfer interests as the club looks to strengthen its squad for the next season. The talented player has caught the attention of several clubs, but Wahbi is determined to make him a key part of their plans.

The Netherlands is one of the key stops on the Moroccan coach's tour, where Abdullah Wazan, an Ajax Amsterdam player and member of the Moroccan U17 national team, is receiving special attention from Wahbi.

The Moroccan national team coach wants to keep a close eye on Wazan, especially after the performances he has delivered since joining the first team of his Dutch club. This assessment is crucial before making a final decision on the possibility of granting him an opportunity with the senior national team.

Wahbi is expected to finalize his decision on the player before the upcoming matches against Gabon and Lesotho, scheduled for September 25 and 29, as part of the first round of qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations.

A highly awaited encounter with Shaquille Van Persie is on the horizon.

Wahbi's role in the Netherlands isn't limited to following Wazaan, as he is expected to hold a meeting with Shakil van Persie, the 18-year-old Feyenoord player who has a Moroccan mother.

Walid Regragui aims through the meeting to get to know the player's capabilities better, in addition to presenting the Moroccan national team's project and explaining his sporting vision, in an attempt to persuade him to represent the 'Atlas Lions' in the upcoming phase.

The interest in Van Persie comes as part of the Moroccan Football Federation's strategy to attract young talents with dual nationality, especially players who show significant potential for future development.

Germany is opening the door for new names as they look to refresh their national team ahead of upcoming competitions.

Following the conclusion of his time in the Netherlands, Mohamed Wahbi is expected to move to Germany to continue his talent search, where he intends to follow Younes Ibn Taleb and Wael Mouhiya.

The two players are among the names the coach wants to assess directly, in preparation for making decisions regarding the possibility of utilizing their services with the national teams in the upcoming period.

This European tour reflects the desire of Mohamed Wahbi and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation to broaden the selection options for the national team by scouting young talents and not just relying on the current players. This approach aims to create a larger base of players capable of forming the core of the 'Atlas Lions' in the coming years.
