Moroccan centre-forward Tawfik Bentayeb of Union Touarga is being linked with a move to Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia, with the 24-year-old Troyes-owned striker reportedly on the radar of the efbet Liga club.
The Casablanca-born forward, who stands at 1.80m and favours his left foot, is currently listed at a market value of €8.00m, according to Transfermarkt. The rumoured deal would see him move from Botola Pro side Union Touarga to CSKA Sofia, although the reported probability of the transfer remains unclear and is currently marked as “?”.
Bentayeb is officially on the books of French club ESTAC Troyes, where he wears the No 21 shirt, but is recorded as playing for Union Touarga in Morocco’s top flight. With no contract expiry date publicly available for his Troyes deal, there is also speculation in some quarters that a future move could involve him running down terms and testing the market as a potential free agent, though no such decision has been confirmed.
Born on 14 January 2002 in Casablanca, Bentayeb has been developed primarily as an out‑and‑out centre-forward, operating through the middle of the attack. His performances in Morocco’s Botola Pro Inwi have helped drive his valuation to €8.00m and attracted attention from outside the country, with CSKA Sofia now emerging as a possible next step in his career.
Recent appearances for Union Touarga have maintained his profile, with the forward continuing to feature in the Moroccan top tier, though detailed official statistics from specific fixtures – including opponents, dates, scorelines and individual goal contributions – have not been fully disclosed in the available data.
If CSKA Sofia decide to firm up their interest, any move to Bulgaria could offer Bentayeb a significant platform in European football and potentially shape the next phase of his development and reputation on the continental stage.
