Renaissance de Berkane had recently increased its efforts to convince the former Southampton player, Sofiane Boufal, to join its project. The club had prepared a significant signing bonus and highlighted its sporting project, hoping to attract the Morocco international and convince him to return to the Botola. Despite the efforts made by Berkane officials, Boufal does not wish to consider playing in the Moroccan league at this stage. According to a source close to Sofiane Boufal, contacted by Africafoot, the Morocco international chose to apologize to the leaders of Renaissance Sportive de Berkane and not follow up on their proposal, an action the source stated should not be considered a categorical refusal. The source close to the player added that this position does not necessarily mean he is definitively ruling out a return to Morocco, but this option is not currently among his priorities.

According to L'Équipe, Le Havre has officially announced the departure of Sofiane Boufal. Boufal's contract ended on June 30, and he has been officially free since Tuesday.

Sofiane Boufal might continue his career in the leagues in the Gulf.

Sofiane Boufal, a 32-year-old attacking midfielder, has announced his departure from Le Havre after five months with the club.
