Meknes – Moroccan defender Mahmoud Bentayg is drawing keen interest from European and Gulf clubs following an impressive spell with Egyptian giants Zamalek.
According to Foot Mercato, the 26-year-old Moroccan left-back has caught the eye of several European clubs, particularly in France and Turkey, alongside strong interest from the Gulf.
The same source indicates that the White Knights could part ways with the rising star this summer for a transfer fee between €2 million and €3 million.
The Moroccan international had a fantastic season with Zamalek, winning the league title, the Arab Cup, and top left-back honors in Egypt. His impressive form has sparked strong transfer interest from several clubs.
In 29 appearances for Zamalek this campaign, the former Saint-Étienne defender logged over 2,100 minutes of action. Providing 4 assists while maintaining a dependable defensive presence, Bentayg established himself as a cornerstone of the backline.
Fresh-off a trophy-laden season, Zamalek’s first team is kicking off pre-season preparations following a well-deserved rest.
The coaching staff has rolled out a comprehensive training plan to ensure the squad is in peak condition before official competition begins.
In coordination with the medical team, the coaching staff has ordered full medical screenings for all players to verify their health and clear them physically before group training begins.
With pre-season underway and transfer interest heating up, Zamalek faces a crucial few weeks ahead. Retaining a star like Bentayg will be key, but a major European or Gulf offer could prove too good to turn down.
