Leeds United has confirmed concrete interest in Souffian El Karouani and are following his situation to reinforce the left-back position. It is specified that the interest has not yet progressed to formal contract discussions. A source emphasized that to date, it is only an interest and that no details have been discussed regarding a possible contract or financial conditions.

Africafoot reports that Utrecht left-back Souffian El Karouani is becoming a target for Leeds United, since he has entered the final six months of his contract.

L'Équipe reports that Leeds recently made a tangible move for Souffian El-Karouani.

Leeds United is one of several interested parties in FC Utrecht's 25-year-old left-back Souffian El Karouani. The player's contract is expiring and he hopes to secure a transfer this winter, with Fenerbahçe having made an official offer that is reportedly the best. A transfer for El Karouani did not happen last summer because Utrecht decided against conducting a transaction with Spartak Moscow.
