Report: Al-Wahidi is a priority in “Newcastle”

Newcastle United is seeking to strengthen its ranks during the upcoming summer transfer period, with its eye in particular on Moroccan international Zakaria El-Wahidi, the star of Genk, as it seeks to add new elements after a disappointing season.

According to what was reported by “The Chronicle” newspaper, Al-Wahidi is considered one of the most prominent names on the MacBays management table, given his qualifications as an offensive full-back capable of providing an addition defensively and offensively.

The Moroccan player is having a distinguished season, scoring 11 goals, which made him the focus of interest from several English clubs, including Everton and Crystal Palace.

Newcastle's management sees Al-Wahidi as an ideal choice thanks to his strong returns and his ability to make a difference, even though his market value is estimated at about 15 million euros, an amount that Genk seeks to raise if several clubs enter the negotiating line.

This interest confirms Newcastle's clear desire to invest in the Belgian player market, searching for deals that combine quality and the right price, with Zakaria El-Wahidi topping the list of goals to strengthen the defensive corridor during the next season.
