Everton made an inquiry for KRC Genk's 23-year-old right-back, Zakaria El Ouahdi, but the player is not interested in a move that would involve a relegation battle. Crystal Palace is another English club that holds significant interest in the Moroccan international. KRC Genk is looking for a fee between €10 million and €12 million, including bonuses, for El Ouahdi, who has a contract until 2028. El Ouahdi, who has one cap for Morocco, joined Genk in September 2023. His current market value is €15.00m, according to Transfermarkt. He has been in good form this season, recording 4 goals and 1 assist in 12 league appearances.
