Yahya Jabrane seals return to former side Wydad AC after Kuwait SC spell

Wydad Athletic Club has finalised an agreement to bring back former captain Yahya Jabrane during the ongoing summer transfer window, marking his return after a one-season stint with Kuwait SC.

Sources close to the Casablanca-based club confirmed that the deal was concluded on two main conditions.

First, Wydad agreed to settle Jabrane’s outstanding financial entitlements — a legacy issue from the previous management — without involving the Moroccan Football Federation’s dispute resolution chamber.

Second, the 33-year-old midfielder is set to reclaim the captain’s armband and play a key leadership role within the squad.

Jabrane’s official unveiling is expected next week, ahead of the team’s departure for a pre-season training camp in Turkey.

Wydad will then travel to Doha for a friendly against Qatari giants Al Sadd.
