Souffian El Karouani is increasingly attracting attention in Europe. The Moroccan left-back of FC Utrecht has had an impressive start to the season, scoring 3 goals and providing 13 assists in 22 matches. He will face Real Betis in the Europa League on November 27 at La Cartuja. This presents an ideal opportunity for the Andalusian club’s management to closely observe a player they have been tracking for several months.
At 25 years old and under contract until June 2026, El Karouani has yet to extend his deal with FC Utrecht, and according to several sources, he does not intend to do so. Several clubs have already expressed interest. After being turned away during the previous transfer window, Spartak Moscow is looking to make another attempt, but the Atlas Lion clearly favors a solid sporting project in Western Europe. Betis, where Sofyan Amrabat and Abde Ezzalzouli play, is seeking an affordable reinforcement on the left side and is considering signing him for free next summer, although competition is expected to be fierce. Supported and recommended internally by Amrabat, who describes him as a humble and hardworking player, El Karouani is establishing himself as one of the most promising Moroccan profiles in his position in Europe.
Absent from the latest list by Hoalid Regragui for friendly matches against Mozambique and Uganda, the national coach opted for Anass Salah-Eddine to occupy the left flank. Nevertheless, Souffian El Karouani remains one of the credible options for the Africa Cup of Nations.
