Yassine Oumast: Baniyas linked with move for Morocco defensive midfielder

Moroccan defensive midfielder Yassine Oumast of RCA Reserve is being linked with a move to UAE Pro League side FC Baniyas, with the 21-year-old potentially available as a free agent due to the absence of a recorded contract expiry date at his current club.

The Casablanca-born midfielder, listed by Raja Club Athletic Reserves as a defensive specialist who can operate at the base of midfield, is currently registered with RCA’s reserve set-up and the Raja Club Athletic Reserves national-team structure. Transfer data shows no fixed contract duration or transfer fee, and his market value is officially recorded as “None”, adding to speculation that Baniyas could secure him on a low-cost or free transfer if talks progress.

Oumast, born on 28 June 2004 and comfortable on both feet, has been developing in Morocco’s system rather than in a major overseas league, making a prospective switch to the UAE top flight a significant step up in profile. The move has been logged on 16 June 2026 with the likelihood of completion still rated as “?” – underlining that discussions remain at a rumour stage rather than an advanced negotiation.

Recent data does not provide detailed, verified match statistics such as specific opponents, dates or scorelines for Oumast’s latest outings with RCA Reserve, and there is no confirmed appearance or goal tally for the current campaign. However, his role profile as a defensive midfielder suggests Baniyas view him as a potential long-term screening option in front of their back line.

If the transfer materialises, a free or near-free switch from Raja’s reserve ranks to the UAE Pro League could prove a pivotal moment in Oumast’s career, offering a first major platform outside Morocco to test and build his reputation.
