Spanish forward Munir El Haddadi, currently plying his trade with Las Palmas in La Liga, may be on the verge of a move to Saudi Arabia, according to reports circulating in Spanish media.
The 28-year-old, who joined Las Palmas this summer, has featured in 16 La Liga matches for the club, contributing a goal and an assist during the current season.
Sources suggest that multiple Saudi teams have expressed interest in acquiring the services of the Moroccan international during the upcoming winter transfer window.
The advanced stage of discussions with Saudi Pro League teams, as reported by Cadenaser, indicates a potential shift for El Haddadi away from Spain, with the player considering a move to the Gulf region.
While the identity of the specific Saudi teams remains undisclosed, the prospect of El Haddadi leaving Las Palmas, currently positioned 8th out of 20 La Liga teams, suggests a forthcoming change for the talented forward.
El Haddadi’s international journey has been marked by challenges, from difficulties joining the Moroccan selection to his ultimate representation of the Lions of the Atlas in 2021.
However, the 28-year-old has faced setbacks recently, being excluded from the Moroccan national team’s plans since September 2022 and missing out on selection for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
With Walid Regragui, the national team coach, seemingly overlooking El Haddadi in favor of emerging talent, the forward’s future with the Atlas Lions appears uncertain.
Given his limited appearances this season with Las Palmas, El Haddadi’s choice to explore opportunities in the Saudi Arabian championship aligns with the possibility of seeking new challenges and playing time.
As El Haddadi contemplates a potential move to Saudi Arabia, it remains to be seen whether this decision will reshape his career trajectory and provide a fresh chapter in his footballing journey.
