Morocco striker Ayoub El Kaabi is being linked with a move from Olympiacos to Russian Premier Liga side FK Sochi, according to transfer data compiled on 15 December 2025.
The 32-year-old centre-forward, currently valued at €5.00m, is listed as a rumoured target for the Sochi club, with the probability of a deal described only as “?”. There is no indication in the data of a fixed contract end date at Olympiacos, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent depending on how his situation in Piraeus develops.
El Kaabi, who wears the number 9 shirt for Olympiacos, has seen his market value rise back to €5.00m during 2024 and 2025, reflecting consistent form in Greece’s Super League 1. His valuation had previously peaked at the same figure during his prolific spell at Turkish side Hatayspor in early 2022 before dipping and then recovering with Olympiacos.
The Casablanca-born forward, a left-footer standing at 1.82m, has built a varied career across several leagues. After emerging at Racing Casablanca and its reserve side, he moved within Morocco to Renaissance de Berkane and then Wydad Casablanca, earning a switch to China with Hebei FC. Subsequent transfers took him to Hatayspor in Türkiye, Al-Sadd in Qatar and then to Olympiacos in 2023.
The current data does not list specific recent matches, scorelines or individual performances for El Kaabi at Olympiacos, but the sustained €5.00m valuation suggests he remains regarded as an effective attacking option at centre-forward.
With his experience across Africa, Asia and Europe, a move to FK Sochi would add another chapter to a notably itinerant career. Should the transfer materialise, it could offer El Kaabi a fresh platform in the Russian top flight to extend his impact and further shape the late prime years of his professional trajectory.
