Saudi Arabia has its sights set on another Moroccan international footballer: Soufiane Rahimi. With an impressive record of 27 goals and 8 caps for Morocco, Rahimi’s prowess on the field has not gone unnoticed.
While not as widely recognized as some of his counterparts, Rahimi’s career statistics speak volumes, often overshadowing many seasoned attackers.
His recent return to the Moroccan national team in March, following nearly a year-long absence, has further cemented his status as a rising star.
Formerly a prolific striker for Raja Casablanca, Rahimi now plies his trade for Al-Aïn in the United Arab Emirates, where he continues to impress with his goal-scoring abilities.
Amidst speculation about his future, journalist Rudy Galetti reports that a Saudi delegation has expressed interest in Rahimi, considering him a potential target for the upcoming transfer window.
While Rahimi remains open to the idea of a transfer, his current club may be hesitant to part ways with him, especially considering he has just one year left on his contract.
However, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Rahimi has already secured a lucrative sponsorship deal with Nike, underscoring his growing prominence in the world of football.
As Rahimi navigates the next chapter of his career, the prospect of a move to Saudi Arabia looms large, presenting an opportunity for him to further elevate his game and leave an indelible mark on the international football stage.
