Moha Moukhliss: Karpaty Lviv complete signing of Spanish-Moroccan midfielder from Vizela

Karpaty Lviv have completed the signing of central midfielder Moha Moukhliss from Portuguese side FC Vizela in a confirmed move that takes the 26-year-old from Liga Portugal 2 to the Ukrainian Premier Liga. The transfer is registered with a starting date of 2026-07-03 and runs through to a contract expiry of 2028-06-30, with the fee listed as undisclosed, while his current market value is recorded at 800k.

The deal ends Moukhlisss one-year stay at Vizela, whom he joined from Real Murcia CF ahead of the 202526 campaign. Although the exact transfer fee is not specified, the move comes at a point when his valuation has climbed steadily, reaching 800k shortly before the switch. That upward curve underlines why Karpaty have stepped in to secure a player regarded as entering his prime years.

Born in Madrid and eligible for both Spain and Morocco, Moukhliss arrives in Lviv as a right-footed central midfielder whose profile fits the technically focused development he has undergone across Iberian football. Karpaty Lviv, recently re-established and pushing to consolidate their status in the Premier Liga, gain a player with experience in both Spanish and Portuguese systems as they prepare for life in Ukraines top flight.

Moukhlisss move also continues a career-long pattern of playing abroad from his home nations leagues, shifting this time from Portugal to Ukraine. After progressing through the Real Madrid youth structure, he is now set to test himself in the Premier Liga, a competition that will present different tactical and physical demands from those he faced in Spains lower divisions and in Liga Portugal 2.

The midfielders pathway is steeped in elite academy education. He rose through Real Madrid CF Youth, Real Madrid U17, U18 and U19, before stepping into senior football with Real Madrid Castilla. A loan spell at RC Celta Fortuna followed, then a permanent move to Real Valladolid Promesas in Spain, where he began to build a reputation as a reliable central option at professional level.

From there, Moukhliss moved to FC Andorra and subsequently FC Barcelona Atletic on loan, extending his experience in Spains competitive pyramid. His transfer to Real Murcia CF and then on to Vizela marked successive steps outside the traditional big-club environment, offering him more responsibility and senior minutes as his market value climbed from 50k in 2019 to 300k by late 2024 and then upwards to 800k in 2026.

At Karpaty Lviv, his role will be closely watched, not least because there is no existing public record of a longer-term contract beyond its stated expiry of 2028-06-30, meaning his next career decision could leave him in a strong position as a potential free agent if he performs well. For now, though, the focus will be on how he adapts to Ukrainian football and whether his Real Madrid-schooled technique and Iberian experience can translate into consistent impact in the Premier Liga.
