Souffian El Karouani: a kind of Grimaldo who already knows FC Porto

Maisfutebol28 August 2026 at 16:40

Souffian El Karouani is a Moroccan full-back who has been compared to Grimaldo, another defender who left Portuguese football to play in the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich. The player, who operates at left-back, has demonstrated offensive qualities that have caught the attention of major European clubs.

El Karouani not only provided an assist against FC Porto, but was also linked to the Porto club during last summer, which demonstrates the dragons' previous interest in the player. This prior connection increases the prominence of his performance against the Portuguese team.

In the Eredivisie, the Moroccan player was recognized as the king of crosses, highlighting his ability to create danger from the left flank. This statistic underscores his offensive contribution and justifies the interest of clubs like FC Porto.

El Karouani's consistent performance in the Dutch league, combined with his ability to assist and create dangerous plays, positions him as one of the most interesting full-backs in European football at present.
