Souffian El Karouani has caught the attention of Olympique Marseille, largely due to his impressive performances at FC Utrecht. With Marseille set to participate in the Champions League next season, they are reportedly interested in El Karouani as they seek alternatives to their current left-back, Quintin Merlin, in whom they lack full confidence. Observers consider El Karouani a strong candidate for the position. The 24-year-old left-back distinguished himself by providing eight assists throughout the season, playing a crucial role in Utrecht's notable fourth-place league finish. Although his contract with Utrecht is valid until the summer of 2026, a transfer fee in the range of 7 to 8 million euros is anticipated to be enough to facilitate his transfer. In addition to Marseille, Stade Rennais and several Spanish clubs are also keeping an eye on El Karouani, which underscores his rising reputation following an exceptional season.
