Wydad Eyeing Veteran Striker Boutaïb: Will He Join the Champions?

Casablanca Club Seeks Attacking Reinforcement Amidst Transfer Rumours

Wydad Casablanca is actively pursuing a significant addition to its squad for the upcoming season, with veteran striker Khalid Boutaïb emerging as a key target. While reports about Wydad's transfer plans remain fragmented, it's clear that strengthening the attacking line is a top priority. This explains their interest in signing Boutaïb, currently a free agent without ties to any club.

Despite his 38 years of age, Boutaïb aims to continue his professional career at the highest level, seeking opportunities that align with his ambitions. He has received offers from various clubs, including several top-tier Moroccan teams. However, the strong connections and influence of Wydad Casablanca's president appear to be giving them an edge in securing the deal.

Boutaïb: A Legacy Defined by National Team Success

Known for his impactful performances on the international stage, Boutaïb boasts a distinguished record with the Moroccan national team. His contributions to major tournaments have solidified his status as one of Morocco's most revered footballers. He has scored eight goals in 20 appearances for his country, including during the 2018 World Cup.

With a current market value estimated at under €150,000 by Transfermarkt, acquiring Boutaïb would be a financially manageable proposition for Wydad Casablanca.
