El Karouani, followed by several clubs, wants Benfica

SAPO30 August 2026 at 08:40

Full-back El Karouani, a Moroccan international, is being followed by several clubs but expresses interest in representing Benfica. The player shows himself seduced by the possibility of playing with the eagle on his chest, in a transfer that would be surprising given his recent contractual situation.

El Karouani signed for Al Qadisiyah in June, but he is on his way out of the Arab club, regardless of his initial desire to continue. This situation opens the way for a negotiation that could benefit Benfica.

The red and white club has already established contacts with the player and is looking to accelerate the process to secure his signing. The urgency in the negotiations suggests that Benfica wants to close the deal quickly, given the competition from other clubs interested in the player.
