Pedro Sousa analyzed Benfica's interest in the 25-year-old Moroccan left-back El Karouani. The sports analyst commented on the possible signing of the player, who currently represents Al-Qadisiya in Saudi Arabia.

El Karouani is 25 years old and plays as a left-back. His current team is Al-Qadisiya, a club from Saudi Arabia.

According to Pedro Sousa, if Benfica manages to complete this signing, it will represent an enormous upgrade compared to Samuel Inácio, who has been the starter in the position at the club. This opinion demonstrates the expectation that El Karouani could significantly elevate the team's level in this position.
