Moroccan international defender Hamza Mendyl has finalized his move to Greek side Aris Salonika, despite earlier negotiations pointing towards a potential transfer to Wydad Casablanca.

The 26-year-old has signed a contract with Aris that runs for one and a half years, with an option to extend for an additional year.

In a statement following the announcement, Mendyl emphasized the sense of unity and fan support that drew him to the Greek club.

“I am happy to be part of Aris from today. I am joining one of the best teams in Greece and I will work hard to help my new team achieve its goals.

I have received the best information about Aris. It is not just a team; it is more than that. It is a family, in good times and in the most difficult ones, and I like that.

As for the fans, they told me that they are very active and that they support the players with passion.”

Mendyl’s decision to join Aris is seen as a setback for Wydad Casablanca, who have faced challenges in securing players once considered key figures for the Moroccan national team.

This latest development follows the club’s unsuccessful pursuit of Nordin Amrabat, signaling a broader struggle to attract high-profile talent.

For Mendyl, this move offers a fresh chapter in his career as he aims to contribute to the ambitions of his new club while continuing to represent Moroccan football on the international stage.
