Meknes – Raja CA have set their sights on Danish-Moroccan attacking midfielder Younes Bakiz from Silkeborg IF during the current summer transfer window.
According to AfricaFoot, the Casablanca club’s management is particularly drawn to the 27-year-old’s versatility across the front line.
Raja prefers to sign the player on loan rather than through a permanent transfer.
Club officials view a loan deal as the most practical option, given the player’s high market value and the steep financial investment a full purchase would require.
The versatile forward, who can operate as an attacking midfielder, winger, or central striker, comes off a 2025/26 campaign where he made 24 Danish Superliga appearances, scoring two goals and providing three assists.
Across all competitions for Silkeborg IF that season, he made 29 total appearances, contributing two goals and four assists.
Bakiz brings extensive experience in Danish football, having played for FC Roskilde, Viborg FF, and Aalborg BK before moving to Silkeborg.
The Danish-Moroccan’s sharp attacking profile and ability to feature across multiple positions make him a highly valued target for Raja’s management.
Bakiz is currently valued at over €1 million, which is why Raja is pushing for a loan deal instead of a permanent transfer.
Negotiations will center on structuring the loan agreement, as the Casablanca side aims to strengthen its attack with a versatile player capable of filling multiple roles.
If secured, the deal would provide Raja with a proven European-trained attacker without straining their summer budget.
Discussions between the two clubs are expected to continue in the coming days as Raja looks to finalize their squad options ahead of the new season.
