Ayoub El Kaabi, the Moroccan international and Olympiakos striker, has become one of the most sought-after players in Europe following his stellar performance in the Europa Conference League. El Kaabi scored the decisive goal in the final against Fiorentina, securing a 1-0 victory, and set a record with 11 goals in the competition. His exceptional form has caught the attention of top clubs across Europe’s major leagues, including Serie A, La Liga, and Ligue 1.
Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato highlighted El Kaabi’s achievements with the headline: “El Kaabi, the ‘carpenter’ of the goal surpasses CR7: he dominated Europe at 30, now Serie A is in the future.”
The 30-year-old striker, whose career has spanned Morocco, China, Turkey, and Qatar, has yet to play in one of Europe’s top leagues, despite his impressive track record.
El Kaabi’s feat of becoming the first player in history to score 11 goals in the knockout stages of a European competition, surpassing legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, has marked this season as the best of his career.
His performance has been described as “remarkable” and has placed him firmly on the radar of several European clubs.
In Serie A, Bologna, Genoa, and Torino have expressed keen interest in signing the prolific striker.
The competition for El Kaabi’s signature is expected to be fierce, with clubs from Spain and France also monitoring his situation closely.
As his contract with Olympiakos expires in June, El Kaabi will be available as a free agent, making him an even more attractive prospect for potential suitors.
El Kaabi’s next destination remains uncertain, but what is clear is that his talents will not go unnoticed.
Clubs across Europe are eager to bolster their attacking options with a player who has proven his ability to perform on the big stage.
As the transfer window approaches, the battle for Ayoub El Kaabi’s signature will undoubtedly be one of the most intriguing stories to follow.
The Moroccan striker’s journey from a diverse career in various leagues to potentially joining a top European championship is a testament to his skill and perseverance.
Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see where the “carpenter of the goal” will ply his trade next season.
