Raja Casablanca eye move for free-agent striker Mohamed Bouldini

Moroccan striker Mohamed Bouldini has become a free agent after Spanish club Deportivo La Coruña confirmed the termination of his contract during the summer transfer window.

The 30-year-old’s departure comes three years before the expiration of the deal he signed after joining Deportivo from fellow Spanish side Levante ahead of the 2024-25 season.

According to Moroccan outlet Le Matin Sport, Raja Casablanca have already added Bouldini to their shortlist of attacking targets as they seek to strengthen their squad for the new campaign.

Raja monitoring free-agent striker

With Bouldini now available without a transfer fee, Raja are reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing the forward back to Morocco.

The Casablanca giants are believed to view the striker as an attractive option because of his experience in both Moroccan and European football.

No agreement has yet been reached, but Raja are expected to continue assessing their attacking options before the transfer window closes.

Familiar face in Moroccan football

Bouldini is no stranger to Moroccan football, having begun his career in the youth systems of Chabab Réguig and Raja Casablanca before establishing himself at Ittihad Tanger.

The forward later moved to Portugal, where he represented Oliveirense, Académica de Coimbra and Santa Clara, building his reputation before earning a transfer to Spain.

His performances in Portugal paved the way for spells with Fuenlabrada, Levante and Deportivo La Coruña, while he also spent time on loan at Granada.

Future remains uncertain

Despite his departure from Deportivo, Bouldini’s experience across several European leagues and his knowledge of the Moroccan game are likely to attract interest from a number of clubs.

For Raja, the striker’s availability presents an opportunity to add an experienced attacking option without paying a transfer fee.

Whether the Moroccan giants decide to formalise their interest remains to be seen, but Bouldini’s next destination is expected to be one of the stories to follow during the remainder of the summer window.
