Souffian El Karouani is highly likely to leave FC Utrecht this summer. The left-back, who was one of the standout players last season, wants to make a step up. Stade Rennais has also shown interest in him. El Karouani has a contract with FC Utrecht until the summer of 2026. Technical director Jordy Zuidam mentioned that although El Karouani is an important player, they will consider his ambitions.

Stade Rennais is also reportedly interested in Souffian El Karouani, along with several Spanish clubs. His performance at FC Utrecht has attracted attention, and a bid between 7 and 8 million euros is expected to convince Utrecht to sell.

Olympique de Marseille is interested in acquiring Souffian El Karouani to strengthen their left-back position. The club has initiated preliminary contact with the player's entourage. El Karouani is contracted with Utrecht until June 2026.

There is significant interest in Souffian El Karouani, which was already present during the winter. However, he was not allowed to leave then. FC Utrecht is open to a transfer in the summer, but will not let him go for just any offer. If he stays, there will be competition among three left defenders for the position.
