Youssef El Arabi: Morocco forward linked with shock move to Greek side Marko

Youssef El Arabi, the Morocco and France-qualified centre-forward currently without a club, is being linked with a surprise move to Greek Super League 2 side Marko. The 39-year-old, who is available on a free transfer, is understood to be on the radar of the second-tier outfit as they explore experienced attacking options ahead of the new campaign.

El Arabi’s potential switch would mark a notable coup for Marko, who compete in Greece’s second division and are seeking to add high-level pedigree to their forward line. The veteran striker, listed with a market value of around €100,000, is regarded as an attainable target given his unattached status.

The forward has been without a club since his last contract expired, leaving him free to negotiate with interested sides outside of the usual transfer-window constraints. That flexibility is seen as a key factor in Marko’s interest as they look to shape their squad relatively late in the summer.

At 39, any move would likely be framed as a short-term addition, but his profile and experience continue to attract attention, particularly from clubs aiming to blend seasoned figures with developing talent. For Marko, landing a player of his stature would represent a statement of intent in the Super League 2 landscape.

Talks have yet to progress to an advanced stage, but El Arabi’s camp is understood to be open to proposals as he weighs up the next step of his career after a period without a club.
