K.R.C. Genk defender Zakaria El Ouahdi is being targeted by Bayer Leverkusen. Kicker reports that the German club is considering the Moroccan international as a candidate for the right-back position.
What's happening?
Bayer Leverkusen is looking to strengthen their right-back position and has El Ouahdi in their sights. The 24-year-old defender is under contract with K.R.C. Genk until 2028 and has proven himself in the Jupiler Pro League as an attack-minded fullback.
Why is El Ouahdi a good option?
El Ouahdi has scored 12 goals and 6 assists in 43 league and Europa League appearances. He has also earned 4 senior international caps and featured as a substitute during Morocco's World Cup quarterfinal defeat to France.
What are the implications for K.R.C. Genk?
If Bayer Leverkusen manages to sign El Ouahdi, this could have implications for K.R.C. Genk's squad. The club would then have to look for a replacement for the right-back position.
