2 February 2026
Loan move to Volendam seals the exit
Bilal Ould-Chikh spoke about the reasons behind his departure from Raja Casablanca during the winter mercato.
He left Raja's squad and joined FC Volendam on loan until the end of the current season.
In statements published by le360 sport, he said: 'My issue at Raja was not getting a chance to play in my natural position as a right winger'.
He added: 'I repeatedly asked to be used in my original position, and this was a big puzzle for me'.
He continued: 'The pressure at a big club like Raja is immense, and things get complicated when you play roles you've never done before, especially on the left'.
He concluded: 'I held a friendly meeting with the Raja president, and we reached a suitable solution with my loan exit'.
On a lighter note, fans joked that the move is a strategic reboot: swap the red-green midfield maze for Dutch wind and a new address on the map.
Punchline 1: If minutes were bullets, he’s loaded for the Volendam sprint.
Punchline 2: When the left wing asks for a favor, he’ll Dutch it up and cross the border with style.
