Stade Rennais is on the brink of finalizing the arrival of Moroccan prodigy Yassir Zabiri, winger for FC Famalicão, during this winter transfer window.<

Regarded as one of the most promising Moroccan talents of his generation, Zabiri particularly stood out with the Moroccan U20 squad during the last World Cup held in Chile.

The young winger played a decisive role in Morocco's triumph, as the U20 team clinched the world champion title, with Zabiri also finishing as the tournament's top scorer.

A verbal agreement reached with Famalicão

According to reports from French outlet (Foot Mercato), Stade Rennais has reached a verbal agreement with Portuguese club Famalicão for the transfer of Yassir Zabiri.

Negotiations have accelerated in recent hours, resulting in a preliminary agreement between both parties. The player is expected to sign a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Brittany club.

Despite offers from the Gulf region, Zabiri chose to continue his career in Europe, enticed by Rennes' project. Now, only a few details remain before the official announcement.
