The interest of German clubs and its choice of Morocco
Several German clubs, notably Bayer Leverkusen, are looking to sign Chikhoun, but he is under contract with Frankfurt until the summer of 2025.
Despite the potential offers, Chikhoun affirmed his commitment to representing Morocco in the future, indicating his joy at wearing his country’s jersey and his lack of intention to change his sporting nationality.
