Rabat – Moroccan football team Raja of Casablanca (RCA) and the Italian football club, Genoa, have reached an agreement for the transfer of Moroccan defender Jawad El Yamiq.
According to sports news outlet L’Equipe, El Yamiq has signed a four-year contract with the Italian football team.
RCA has received EUR 800,000 plus EUR 800,000 in bonuses for El Yamiq, who will join the Italian giant very soon.
The 25-year old footballer signed for Raja in August 2016 after spending five years with Olympique Khouribga, a Moroccan football team, with whom he won the Moroccan Coupe de Trone in 2015.
El Yamiq was also part of the Moroccan national A team, which secured its qualification to the 2018 World Cup. On several occasion, Morocco’ head coach, Hervé Renard, included El Yamiq in the squad in replacement. El Yamiq played his first friendly game in March 2017 against Burkina Faso in Marrakech.
Genoa is the football team, where Moroccan Adel Taarabt plays as an attacking midfielder. Taarabt has been delivering great performances along with his Italian team after long-range efforts to regain his football skills.
