In a last-minute move, Sporting enquired about Souffian El Karouani | OneFootball

Sporting is said to have made an approach for Souffian El Karouani, Utrecht's left-back. The Moroccan could still experience a twist in this transfer window, and the race for his signing remains very heated at this stage.

The information is reported by the newspaper L'Equipe, which highlights Marseille's interest in signing the 25-year-old player. The player's entourage is said to have already reached an agreement with the French club, even though Sporting and Leeds have tried to get involved in the negotiations.

According to the same source, Marseille has made an offer of 3 million euros, plus 15% of any future profit from a sale to Utrecht. Still, the same rumors suggest that if Sporting increases their offer, they could re-enter the race.

This season, playing for Utrecht, Souffian El Karouani – valued at 15 million euros – has already played a total of 34 matches, totaling 2,778 minutes on the pitch. In those games, he scored three goals and provided 15 assists to his teammates.

Sporting is racing against time on this last day of the transfer window. Obed Vargas is set for Atlético de Madrid and Sporting 'missed out' on his signing, while Alisson Santos is leaving for Napoli and Matheus Reis for CSKA Moscow.
