Adil Khalloufi: Raja Casablanca eye move for Moroccan defensive midfielder from El-Mansour

Moroccan midfielder Adil Khalloufi of El-Mansour is being linked with a move to Botola Pro Inwi side Raja Casablanca as the Casablanca club assesses options to strengthen the base of its midfield.

Khalloufi, 26, has emerged as a target after an impressive campaign in Morocco’s top flight, where he featured regularly for El-Mansour in the 2023-24 season. Operating as a defensive midfielder, he made 29 league appearances and recorded one assist, logging 2,593 minutes as a central figure in his side’s domestic campaign.

Raja’s interest comes with Khalloufi rated at around €450,000, his highest recorded market valuation to date, reflecting his growing importance in the league. Any deal would represent a significant step up in profile for the player, who has built his reputation within Moroccan football rather than abroad.

Born in Goulmima on 22 November 1999, Khalloufi joined El-Mansour in July 2023 and has since added further exposure in domestic cup competitions. He scored once in three appearances in the Excellence Cup and also featured in the Coupe du Trone, underlining his status as a consistent selection across competitions.

Khalloufi’s contractual terms at El-Mansour have not been made public, and it remains unclear what kind of fee would be required to prise him away. For now, he remains an El-Mansour player and a regular in their midfield as Raja Casablanca monitor the situation ahead of the new Botola Pro Inwi campaign.
