A top club from Turkey wants to sign El Karouani this winter, but the Moroccan has rejected an initial offer from Fener.
Fenerbahçe made an offer for Souffian El Karouani. According to transfer journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, El Karouani has temporarily set the proposal aside because he requires more time to consider it.
According to Fanatik, Utrecht increased their asking price for Souffian El Karouani due to interest from Porto, Benfica, Frankfurt, and West Ham. Despite El Karouani’s contract expiring at the end of the season, Utrecht demanded more than 10 million Euro. Fenerbahçe has reached an agreement with the player for the end of the season and has informed Utrecht that they will sign El Karouani for free at that time if their current terms are not accepted.
According to Fanatik, Fenerbahçe has offered Souffian El Karouani a four-year contract with a one-year option. El Karouani's contract is set to expire in the summer, and Fenerbahçe is expected to sign him at the end of the season.
According to Skorer, Fenerbahçe has reached an agreement in principle with Utrecht's Moroccan left-back, El Karouani. Fenerbahçe outbid several major European clubs for the transfer, with other interested parties including Ajax, Eintracht Frankfurt, West Ham United, Benfica, and Porto. Fenerbahçe made the best offer. The management offered El Karouani an annual salary and signing bonus totaling around 4 million euros. El Karouani's father, who is his agent, was reportedly impressed by the atmosphere in Istanbul during the Galatasaray derby.
Discussions for Fenerbahçe to recruit Souffian El Karouani are advancing, and an agreement could be reached soon. According to Sacha Tavolieri, talks are expected to continue in the coming days. El Karouani has a contract with FC Utrecht that runs until June 2026.

Fanatik has reported that Fenerbahçe submitted a €10 million offer to a Dutch club for Souffian El Karouani. Negotiations have started with the 25-year-old player regarding a 4.5-year contract, and it is reported that the talks are progressing positively.
Fenerbahçe has submitted an official bid for Souffian El Karouani, a 25-year-old Moroccan defender from FC Utrecht. Journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu reported on X that the Turkish club made an official offer for the left-back, and that El Karouani has an expiring contract and is eager to move this winter. A potential transfer to Spartak Moscow last summer was not completed because Utrecht chose not to do business with the Russian club. It is said that El Karouani is open to a move. VfL Wolfsburg, West Ham United, Leeds United, and FC Porto have also been named as interested parties. Additionally, it is reported that Fenerbahçe could make the best offer. The defender has 5 caps for Morocco and has provided 2 goals and 9 assists in 16 Eredivisie appearances this season. During the summer 2025 window, Spartak Moscow's rejected offer was reportedly around €6.5-€7 million. Transfermarkt lists his current market value as €15.00m.
