AC Milan step up interest in Zakaria El Ouahdi

AC Milan have identified Morocco international Zakaria El Ouahdi as a potential target to strengthen their right flank, with the Italian club already making preliminary contact over a possible move.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, El Ouahdi is now high on Milan’s shortlist as the club considers options for the position.

The Rossoneri have taken an initial step by making contact to assess the player’s situation and establish his interest in a move. The discussions remain at an early stage, with no agreement reached at this point.

Milan’s interest follows the Moroccan’s consistent performances, which have attracted the attention of the club’s decision-makers.

His profile has prompted the Italian side to examine whether a transfer would make sense both financially and from a sporting perspective.

The club is now assessing the conditions that would be required to bring El Ouahdi to Serie A. Although the process has yet to progress to advanced negotiations, Milan’s interest is described as genuine.

For El Ouahdi, the attention from one of Italy’s leading clubs represents a potential opportunity to take the next step in his career. However, much will depend on how Milan’s assessment develops during the coming weeks.

The Italian club must first determine whether the financial terms of a possible deal are suitable before deciding whether to make a more serious approach.

At present, the contacts remain preliminary and there is no indication that a transfer has been agreed.

Milan’s next move will depend on their evaluation of the Moroccan defender and the conditions surrounding his availability.

The coming weeks are therefore expected to provide a clearer picture of whether the Rossoneri will turn their initial interest into a concrete pursuit.

For now, El Ouahdi remains on Milan’s radar as the club continues to explore ways of strengthening its right side.

The Moroccan international has emerged as one of the names being considered, with the possibility of a move to Serie A still open.
