The contract structure provides Wydad with the option to make Banyaka’s stay permanent, reflecting the club’s aim to make thoughtful investments in players capable of impacting both immediately and in the medium term.
Banyaka joins Wydad amid an active transfer period in which the club has also secured high-profile signings, including Hakim Ziyech, Naim Bayar, Salah Eddine Moussadek, and veteran international striker Wissam Ben Yedder.
These acquisitions are part of a deliberate effort by the technical staff and club management to address gaps exposed during the first half of the season, restore balance within the squad, and strengthen Wydad’s competitiveness in upcoming competitions.
