FC Utrecht drew 1-1 against NAC Breda in the 16th round of the Eredivisie. It was a tightly contested match where the visitors once again relied on the offensive influence of Souffian El Karouani.<\/p>\n
The Moroccan full-back was directly involved in the equalizer: his decisive pass allowed Dani de Wit to bring Utrecht back into the game. This action confirms the player’s consistency, becoming increasingly crucial in the final third.<\/p>\n
With this latest assist, El Karouani now has 18 decisive contributions this season (3 goals, 15 assists). These are rare numbers for a wing player, which explain the interest surrounding him in recent months.<\/p>\n
After the match, coach Ron Jans opened the door to a possible departure, emphasizing that a sale would be “financially interesting” for the club. The coach reiterated Utrecht’s guiding principle: to develop, enhance, and then potentially transfer, for the benefit of both the club and the player.<\/p>\n
The timing is particularly important as the contractual situation becomes sensitive: his contract expires next summer, and starting in early 2026, El Karouani will be able to discuss with other clubs regarding a free transfer. This is a scenario that Utrecht will likely seek to avoid, especially as the player is valued at around 15 million euros according to Transfermarkt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
