We all remember the last World Cup, when the likes of Azzedine Unahi and Sofian Amrabat shone for Morocco and there was a lot of movement behind the scenes.
Well, the North African nation has had another great tournament and appears to have found their next player to make a big move off of their success.
Today’s Team Talk reports that multiple teams are interested in Roma midfielder Neil El Ainaoui. He is currently doing well in the center of the pitch, partnering Ayyoub Bouadi.
Impressive midfielder ready to step up to a new level
El Ainaoui only joined Roma a year ago and Roma will be keen to keep him. However, Barcelona and Real Madrid appear to have had an eye on him in the past, and a number of teams in the Premier League are currently trying to woo him.
His agents have already made contact with Aston Villa, Brighton, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Sunderland.
He made 30 appearances for Roma this season, but was not always expected to be a starter. Now he has shown what he is capable of, it will definitely change – otherwise they will definitely sell him.

Atlético Madrid have hit the ground running this summer and will soon complete their first major transfer deal.
