Freshly crowned champion of Morocco, Raja Casablanca has completed its first recruit for the summer transfer window.
Crowned champion for the 13th time in its history since Friday, and the victory against MC Oujda (0-3) as part of the final day of Botola Pro, Raja Casablanca intends to have no intention of resting on his laurels. The Casablanca club intends to strengthen itself for its return to the Champions League of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) next season.
To this end, the Aigles Verts recorded a first arrival, that of winger Phillippe Kinzumbi from the
TP Mazembe. Having activated the Congolese track a few weeks ago despite the ban on recruitment by FIFA, management announced the arrival of the 25-year-old player on its social networks. “Welcome Kinzumbi”posted the president of the club, Mohamed Boudrika, on his official Facebook page the evening of the title in the caption of a photo of the person concerned with a Casablanca representative.

His contract with the Ravens having expired, Kinzumbi arrives as a free agent. According to the Moroccan daily The morning, its lease in the Casablanca city would extend over three years. With Yousri Bouzok, Botola Pro top scorer this season (14 goals), his association looks promising.
With the Ravens, Kinzumbi played 34 African Cup matches for a total of three goals and four assists in four exercises. This season, he completed the first edition of the African Football League in the quarter-finals (October 2023), before stopping in the LdC semi-finals in April against future champion Al Ahly. On the national scene, this year he won the last of his three championship titles after 2021 and 2022.
