Sofiane Boufal is poised to join Libyan club Al-Ittihad in a career-defining transfer, marking his first venture into African club football. The 31-year-old Morocco international has spent over a decade competing across Europe's top leagues, and negotiations with the ambitious Libyan outfit have reached an advanced stage, according to reports from Radio Mars.
The winger's impending move represents a significant pivot after stints in Ligue 1, the Premier League, and La Liga. Boufal's career has been defined by his technical ability and positional versatility across the attacking third. Most recently, he completed a season with Le Havre in France, where he made 17 appearances before exploring new horizons. His experience also includes a spell in Qatar's Gulf football with Al-Rayyan, positioning him as a genuinely globe-trotting talent.
Final Details Pending Announcement
Al-Ittihad has already fuelled transfer speculation by posting cryptic social media teasers featuring the logo of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation. Industry sources suggest only minor contract formalities and structural details remain before the deal receives official confirmation. The Libyan club's proactive communication hints at imminent closure on terms with the attacking midfielder.
Boufal's arrival would inject European pedigree into North African football and represent a watershed moment for the player himself. After years cultivating his craft in competitive European environments, he now enters a new chapter on African soil—a natural evolution for experienced internationals seeking fresh challenges. The move underscores Al-Ittihad's ambition to compete for continental honours.
