Berkouk Nears Free Transfer Move to Raja Casablanca
2 January 2026
Transfer Update
The Moroccan winger Ayman Berkouk is close to strengthening Raja Casablanca's squad during the ongoing winter transfer window.
A private source told Le360 that negotiations between Raja and Berkouk, 27, have reached an advanced stage.
The player is expected to arrive in Casablanca to finalize his move to Raja.
Context
According to the newspaper Al-Sabah, the deal is very close and will be a free transfer.
Berkouk is currently unattached after terminating his contract with Schalke.
Raja occupy fourth place in the Botola Pro with 15 points, five behind leaders Wydad.
Winter window keeps heating up as top clubs chase free agents.
Punchline 1: In football, even a free transfer comes with strings—like my coffee, but with better suspense.
Punchline 2: If Berkouk seals it, Raja will finally prove that nothing in life is truly 'free'—except maybe the popcorn at the stadium.
