Moroccan international Zakaria El Wahidi, a player for Belgian club Genk, has confirmed that his move to Portuguese club Benfica is still a possible option, after the Portuguese club were interested in his services during the recent summer transfer window.
In statements to Portuguese newspaper ‘Agogo’, Al-Wahidi confirmed that a move to Benfica is still possible in the future, but that he is currently focused on performing better with his current team, Genk.
He added: “Playing for Benfica is a dream for many players, because it is one of the big clubs in Europe, and I think every player aspires to go there. It didn’t happen last summer, but now I’m focusing on the season with Genk. Maybe Benfica will come back to negotiate in the future, and I will stay ready.
The Genk club renewed the Moroccan player’s contract until the summer of 2028, refusing his departure for Benfica during the last transfer period after receiving two official offers from the Portuguese club.
