Moroccan defensive midfielder Mehdi Moubarik is being linked with a move from UAE Pro League side Al‑Ain to Bulgarian club Levski Sofia, with the 25-year-old reportedly under consideration as a midfield reinforcement.
The Rabat-born player, valued at €900k on Transfermarkt, is being monitored by the efbet Liga club as they assess options for the new campaign. The probability of the transfer remains unclear, with the move currently listed as “?” and no agreement reported between the clubs.
Details around Moubarik’s contractual situation at Al‑Ain have not been made public, with no expiry date recorded, adding to speculation that he could yet be available on favourable terms or move on ahead of becoming a potential free agent further down the line.
Standing at 1.75m and predominantly right-footed, Moubarik is viewed as a specialist in the holding role, capable of screening the back line and initiating build-up from deep. Born on 22 January 2001, he has been tracked in recent seasons after emerging as a disciplined midfield presence, with his current market valuation reflecting his status as a developing asset rather than a finished article.
While detailed recent match-by-match data has not been disclosed, his performances in the Gulf – including league fixtures for Al‑Ain in the UAE Pro League – have been sufficient to draw interest from Europe, with Levski Sofia now the latest club credited with an eye on his situation.
Moubarik, who lists only Morocco among his nationalities, has built his profile away from the major European leagues, and a switch to Sofia would represent his first step into Bulgarian football. If Levski decide to formalise their interest, the move could give the Moroccan a platform to elevate his reputation on the European stage and shape the next phase of his career.
