European-Gulf Transfer Watch: Monaco's Rising Moroccan Keeper Captures World-Class Interest

European-Gulf Transfer Chase for Monaco's Young Moroccan Keeper
Moroccan goalkeeper Yannis Benchaouch of Monaco is drawing interest from European and Gulf clubs.
The 19-year-old reportedly turned down a renewal with Monaco and plans to leave Ligue 1.
Benchaouch is among Wahbi's breakthroughs, the coach who led Morocco to the U20 World Cup title.
Wahbi has recently taken charge of the Morocco senior team after Walid Rekraki's departure.
Mercato notes Benchaouch is tracked by Inter Milan, Monza and Modena.
Interest also spans French, Dutch, Belgian and Spanish clubs, with Qatar's Al-Gharafa among suitors as well.
