Moroccan forward Noham Hamdaoua has finalized a five-year contract with Italian club Cagliari, marking a significant step in his burgeoning career.
The 18-year-old, who currently represents ESTAC Troyes’ U19 side, has impressed with his performances at both club and international levels.
Sources close to the deal confirmed that Hamdaoua recently committed his future to the Serie A outfit, with Cagliari securing his services in a move expected to bolster their attacking options.
The young striker’s signing comes on the back of his recent standout performance for Morocco’s U18 national team.
Bright start on the international stage
Hamdaoua showcased his talent on March 20, 2025, in an international friendly against Norway’s U18 team.
Despite Morocco falling to a 3-2 defeat in Marbella, Spain, the forward made a notable impact, scoring his side’s opening goal. His display further cemented his reputation as one of Morocco’s promising young talents.
His impressive form has not gone unnoticed. Having featured in 19 matches for Troyes’ U19 side this season, Hamdaoua has netted 10 goals, underlining his potential as a future star.
His ability to find the back of the net has been a key factor in Cagliari’s decision to bring him on board.
Strengthening Cagliari’s attack
Cagliari, currently competing in Serie A, will be looking to integrate Hamdaoua into their squad as they prepare for the latter stages of the season.
The club is set to face AC Monza in their upcoming league fixture, a match that holds importance in their push for a strong finish in the top flight.
Hamdaoua’s move is seen as part of Cagliari’s long-term vision, as they continue to invest in young talent.
His versatility and goal-scoring ability could prove invaluable for the Italian side as they aim to establish themselves firmly in Serie A.
As the Moroccan youngster embarks on this new chapter in his career, expectations will be high.
His performances at both club and international levels suggest he has the attributes to succeed in Italy’s top division, and his development at Cagliari will be closely watched by football enthusiasts in Morocco and beyond.
