Benfica is actively working to close the signing of a left-back in the coming days. The player in question is Moroccan El Karouani, who has gained momentum as an option for the Eagles' left side of defense.
The young 22-year-old defender is seen by Benfica's decision-makers as a possible alternative to Samuel Dahl, another player who has been linked to the club. Benfica's board intends to resolve this position in the squad soon.
El Karouani has shown quality in recent seasons, which caught the Portuguese club's attention. His arrival could reinforce a position where Benfica wants to have more depth in the squad.
Rumors about this possible transfer have intensified in recent hours, with the player's agents being approached by Benfica's structure. The negotiation could be concluded soon, should the parties reach an agreement on the contract terms.
