The competition among Moroccan professional league clubs for the services of Amin Al-Sawan has intensified, with RS Berkane entering the race to sign the player, while Raja Club had already made an official offer for him during the current summer transfer window.
Reports have revealed that RS Berkane's management has shown serious interest in signing Al-Sawan, turning the deal into a direct competition between the two clubs before the transfer window closes on September 15.
RS Berkane and Raja Club's move comes amid a growing trend among Moroccan clubs towards the local player market, especially with the rising costs of signing foreign players. This has made standout players in the professional league a primary target for strengthening team rosters.
Raja Club continues to work on finalizing the team's roster, despite the signings made during the summer transfer window, in response to the needs of Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi.
Under the supervision of Portuguese Rogério Matias, the sports management has identified five positions to strengthen before the transfer window closes, including a backup goalkeeper, a left-back, an attacking midfielder, a key playmaker, and a foreign striker who can play as a centre-forward.
Raja Club has made several signings during the current transfer window, including Chemseddine Knaidil from the Meknès club, and Isḥaq Zaydani, as well as Younes Dahmani, who joined from Union Touarga Sportif on a contract that extends for four seasons.
The team has strengthened its squad with Ghanaian Michael Agbeyekporno following the end of his contract with Huesca, alongside Portuguese defender Marian Huja and Brazilian Luiz Felipe Silva.
Despite these signings, Raja Club's management has not closed the file on strengthening the team, as they believe the current squad still needs further additions. This explains the club's ongoing efforts, primarily aimed at finalizing the deal for Amin Al-Sawan.
