Moroccan centre-forward Kamal Rizq of Serie D side Pistoiese is being linked with a switch to Alessandria, with the 33-year-old’s contractual situation raising the prospect he could move as a free agent.
Rizq, born in Casablanca on 6 July 1992 and now valued at €75k on Transfermarkt, is currently listed without a defined contract expiry at Pistoiese, prompting speculation that Alessandria could seek a low-cost or free transfer if his deal has run down. The rumour, first noted on 5 June 2026, carries an unspecified probability, with no formal agreement reported between the clubs.
The 1.87m right-footed striker, who wears the No 9 shirt for Pistoiese and operates primarily as a centre-forward, has been a regular presence in Italy’s Serie D – Girone D. While detailed seasonal statistics are not disclosed in the latest data, he has remained part of Pistoiese’s attacking unit into the current campaign.
In Pistoiese’s recent league match against Serie D rivals Carpi on 31 May 2026, which finished in a 1-1 draw, Rizq led the line from the start and was involved in several build-up phases, though he did not score. His physical profile and penalty-box positioning remain key facets of his game, attributes that Alessandria are thought to be monitoring as they look to add experience to their forward options.
Rizq holds only Moroccan nationality and has spent the latter phase of his career in the Italian lower leagues, with Pistoiese his current and most significant club in Europe according to available records. Any move to Alessandria would keep him in familiar surroundings while potentially offering a fresh role at another historic Italian side.
If the transfer materialises, a switch at this stage of his career could give Rizq one more platform to enhance his reputation in Italian football and extend his impact in the professional game.
