Youssef Belammari is being linked with a move from Raja Casablanca to Egyptian giants Ahly SC, with the probability of a transfer currently rated at 77% according to data from Transfermarkt.
The 27-year-old left-back, who plays in Morocco’s Botola Pro Inwi, is under contract at Raja Club Athletic but has no publicly listed expiry date, prompting suggestions he could become available on a free in the near future. That uncertainty has fuelled speculation that Ahly, competing in the Egyptian Premier League, are positioning themselves to pounce should his situation in Casablanca change.
Belammari, valued at €1.50m in the latest market assessment, would represent a relatively low-cost option for Ahly in a position that often commands a premium. His current valuation has stabilised at that figure after rising as high as €1.70m during his time with Raja, reflecting his standing as an established defender in Moroccan football.
Born in Rabat on 20 September 1998, the Morocco international has built his senior career entirely in his home country, progressing from FUS Rabat Espoirs to FUS Rabat’s first team in 2017 before switching to Raja Club Athletic in July 2023. His move to Casablanca coincided with a sharp upward curve in his market value, from €700,000 shortly before the transfer to the €1m mark and beyond during 2024.
A left-footed defender standing at 1.83m, Belammari has been deployed primarily at left-back, with his performances for Raja in the domestic league reinforcing his reputation as a reliable option on that flank. There is no recent match-by-match breakdown in the data, but the consistent increases in his valuation during his early Raja spell suggest a steady level of performance.
If Ahly do formalise their interest and a deal materialises, a switch from Botola Pro Inwi to the Egyptian Premier League would mark the first cross-border move of Belammari’s career and could prove a defining step in his development and regional profile.
