Only 3rd in Botola Pro after 19 days, 7 points behind RS Berkane, Wydad Casablanca will take advantage of the winter transfer window to strengthen themselves.
After the arrival of former OL, Fahd Moufi28-year-old right back, the WAC will recruit for the goalkeeper position. This Saturday, beIN Sports Mena announces in fact that the Wydad completed the arrival of El Mehdi Benabid from AS FAR Rabat, for a period of two and a half years.
Regularly called up for the A selection by Walid Regragui between March 2023 and June 2024, without however having the right to taste his first cap, the 27-year-old Moroccan international recently lost his starting status at AS FAR. It is indeed Ayoub El Khayati who now occupies the position of number one goalkeeper in the club's goal qualified for the quarter-finals of the African Champions League.
Simple replacement for the Club World Cup?
The arrival of Benabid should relegate Youssef El Motie, who until now was the starter, to the bench. If the newcomer will therefore keep the goal of the WAC in the championship, on the other hand he risks having to be satisfied with the status of substitute on the occasion of the Club World Cupwhich will see Wydad face Manchester CityJuventus Turin and Al-Ain in Group G.
-The Reds have in fact concluded an agreement with RS Berkane, which must cede the Moroccan globalist and understudy of Yassine Bounou in selection, Munir El Kajoui, especially for the tournament. Unless Benabid manages to make himself completely indispensable by then.
