Dortmund interested in signing Moroccan prodigy Ismaël Baouf

German outfit Borussia Dortmund are eyeing a move to sign Moroccan teenager Ismaël Baouf.

Baouf, who has emerged as the defensive leader at SC Cambuur, has enjoyed a standout season so far. The Morocco U20 centre-back has been a key figure for second-placed Cambuur, missing only seven games due to his involvement in the U20 World Cup.

Despite his primary role as a defender, he has also contributed two goals, further highlighting his quality and potential.

His performances have not gone unnoticed. Alongside Dortmund, Dutch giants Ajax and Feyenoord are reportedly monitoring him closely as interest in him continues to grow across Europe. According to transfermarkt.de, Baouf currently holds a market value of €700,000, but his contract situation may complicate any move.

The young defender is tied to Cambuur until 2028, with the club holding an option to extend for an additional year.

This ultimately means any transfer could come at a higher price if competition intensifies.

Baouf’s development and rising profile make him one of Morocco’s most exciting prospects, and his next career move will be closely watched as top clubs circle.
