Walid Dhouib has left Lithuanian side DFK Dainava to become a free agent, completing a move to the status of Without Club. The 19-year-old right winger’s contract with the I Lyga outfit has ended, and his registration switched to the pool of unattached players on 2026-02-05, with no transfer fee involved and no new contract end date yet defined.
The France- and Morocco-eligible attacker departs DFK Dainava with a market value listed at €25k, according to the most recent assessment during the 25/26 season. His change of status means he is now free to negotiate with interested clubs without a transfer fee, opening the door for a potential move abroad away from his dual-home nations, France and Morocco, and the Lithuanian second tier where he most recently played.
Dhouib’s latest transfer marks the third club change of his young career. Before his spell in Lithuania, he was on the books of Rio Ave FC U19 in Portugal, having joined the Portuguese youth setup from Shabab Al-Ahli Club Youth in the United Arab Emirates. That sequence – UAE to Portugal to Lithuania – already underlines a career path shaped by cross-border moves, and his new free-agent status further positions him for another step in a foreign league once he finds a new employer.
Standing at 1.91 m and operating primarily as a right winger with a preferred left foot, Dhouib offers an unusual physical profile for a wide attacker. His role is officially recorded as Attack – Right Winger, and his positional data supports the view of a forward whose height could be used in both wide build-up play and aerial situations in the final third. At just 19, he is still in the early stages of his professional development, with his current market valuation suggesting he is seen as a prospect rather than an established star.
The timeline of his recent moves shows steady progression through different football environments. He joined Rio Ave FC U19 from Shabab Al-Ahli Club Youth on 2024-07-01, then moved on to DFK Dainava Alytus on 2025-07-15, gaining experience in Portugal and Lithuania along the way. His most recent market value update in late 2025, pegging him at €25k, came while he was with DFK Dainava, reflecting his standing at that time in the Lithuanian I Lyga.
With no club currently attached to his name and no league assigned to his registration, Dhouib’s immediate future is open. The end of his deal with DFK Dainava and his arrival in the Without Club category formally confirm that he is available on a free, leaving his next destination to be determined. The trajectory of his moves so far suggests that another stint abroad is likely, and his next contract will play a significant role in shaping how his potential is realised over the coming seasons.
