While he had won a starting place during the second part of the 2023-24 financial year with Strasbourg, the Atlas Lion Cub, Alaa Bellaarouch, had a difficult start to the season. In July 2024, the young 22-year-old international goalkeeper, suffering from pubalgia problems, had to give up the Paris Olympic Games with the EN and lost his place within the Alsatian team.
According to a well-informed source, contacted by Le360sport, Bellaarouch would no longer be part of RC Strasbourg’s priorities and would indeed be on the transfer list. The same source indicated that he currently occupies fourth place in the hierarchy of goalkeepers and that he would have had some misunderstandings with the club’s management.
Arriving in Strasbourg in 2020 from the Mohammed VI Football Academy, Alaa Bellaarouch extended his contract last January for two additional years, thus linking his future to Racing until June 2027.

In February 2024, Bellaarouch made his first appearance in Ligue 1 and distinguished himself by repelling a penalty from Kylian Mbappé
The latest news is that a Botola club would be interested in the services of the Moroccan goalkeeper during this winter transfer period. But contacts are still at a very premature stage.
