Mouhcine Bouriga moves closer to Raja Casablanca

Just when AS FAR appeared to be closing in on the Moroccan striker—as first reported by Africafoot—Raja Casablanca swooped in with a late, aggressive push. Now, the Green Eagles are leading the race to secure his signature.

Exclusive sources reveal Raja have accelerated talks with Bouriga’s parent club, FC Sion, in recent days, with only final details standing between them and a done deal.

Earlier, Bouriga rejected a loan move to Maghreb de Fès, while AS FAR gained momentum with a tempting season-long loan offer featuring a $400K signing bonus. But Raja’s bold sporting project and career-reviving guarantees ultimately won him over—proving once again that in football’s transfer chessboard, the game isn’t over until the paperwork is signed.

After arriving from Maghreb de Fès last summer, the Renaissance Zemamra product struggled to make his mark at FC Sion - managing just one goal in 22 Super League appearances. Now, the Swiss club has cut its losses, greenlighting his summer exit.

Enter Raja Casablanca.

The Moroccan giants, hungry for attacking reinforcements, appear poised to offer Bouriga what Sion couldn't - a chance to reignite his career in familiar territory. For a striker desperately needing confidence, this homecoming could be the perfect remedy.
