Benfica is very close to securing the signing of Souffian El Karouani, a Moroccan left-back who appears as a solution to reinforce a position that has received attention from the club's management. The player has been followed by the club for quite some time and could arrive at the Luz to compete for the spot with Samuel Dahl.
Analyst Pedro Sousa considered that El Karouani will represent "an enormous upgrade compared to Samuel Dahl". For the analyst, this is a footballer with very interesting characteristics who could add quality to Marco Silva's team.
Pedro Sousa highlighted above all the player's physical ability, technical quality and versatility. The analyst mentioned that the player has an incredible physique and a very developed passing ability, being one of the players who, last season, was most watched by many clubs.
The question is what El Karouani would be willing to give up, given that he earns a lot of money in Saudi Arabia. Still, Pedro Sousa noted that it is interesting to see that Saudi clubs are already selling players, which could facilitate the transfer.
