Tawfik Bentayeb: Morocco Forward at Union Touarga Linked with RSC Anderlecht Move

Moroccan centre-forward Tawfik Bentayeb of Union Touarga is being linked with a move to Belgian side RSC Anderlecht, with the Jupiler Pro League club monitoring the 24-year-old as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

Anderlecht are understood to be tracking Bentayeb’s progress closely as they assess potential reinforcements at centre-forward ahead of the new campaign. The Moroccan’s current market value is estimated at around €8 million, a figure that would represent a significant outlay and underlines how highly he is regarded within Union Touarga’s squad.

Bentayeb, 24, has been operating through the middle for Union Touarga and his performances in Morocco have drawn growing attention from clubs outside the country. Interest from a club of Anderlecht’s stature would mark a major step up in profile and competition level for the striker, placing him on the radar of a league known for developing and exporting attacking talent.

Union Touarga, for their part, face the prospect of losing a key figure from their forward line should Anderlecht decide to move from monitoring to formal negotiations. The Moroccan club have so far kept their stance undisclosed, and there is no indication that talks have advanced to an official bid.

With no release clause or contract end-date publicly disclosed, Union Touarga would be in a position to demand a substantial fee if Anderlecht choose to test their resolve, leaving Bentayeb’s immediate future tied to how far the Belgian side are prepared to push their interest.
