Transfer Market: Benfica on the verge of bringing back a Moroccan international to Europe?

Souffian El Karouani, a 25-year-old Moroccan left-back, may leave Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia to join Benfica, a club that has been monitoring him since his departure from the Netherlands. After a challenging start in Saudi Arabia, Benfica would provide El Karouani with better visibility in Europe, where he excelled with 13 assists in 32 matches at Utrecht. This return could also be crucial for his international career, as he was not selected for the 2026 World Cup.
