According to exclusive information from Africafoot, Ittihad de Tanger is near to signing Moroccan international Munir El Haddadi. The same sources state that discussions between the parties have advanced considerably in recent days and a principle agreement has been reached. Only a few administrative and financial details are left to be finalized before the official announcement, if no last-minute changes occur. The leaders of Ittihad de Tanger are giving this matter particular focus, aware of the impact that the arrival of a player with such a prestigious career would have. The club wants to convey a significant message to its supporters by recruiting a player capable of immediately bringing quality, leadership, and high-level experience. Munir El Haddadi was at Esteghlal FC in Iran last season, and his potential arrival at Ittihad de Tanger would mark his first experience in the Moroccan league. If the final formalities are completed in the upcoming days, Ittihad de Tanger will complete one of the most notable transfers of the summer in Botola.

Munir El Haddadi, the 30-year-old Moroccan and Spanish forward for Esteghlal FC, has proposed to the club's management to terminate his contract due to the deteriorating security situation in Iran in recent days. The player no longer wishes to continue his career in the Iranian league and now favors an amicable termination in order to consider a new destination that would provide more sporting and personal stability. In the coming days, Munir El Haddadi hopes to find a quick solution to conclude his Iranian experience and seek a new sporting challenge. The Moroccan international, who has 11 caps and 2 goals for his country, joined Esteghlal in September 2025 on a contract set to expire in June 2027. In the current Persian Gulf League season, he has recorded 3 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances. His market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
