FC Utrecht vreest Souffian El Karouani op een vrije transfer te kunnen verliezen. De linksback staat onder contract tot de zomer van 2026, maar zijn situatie veroorzaakt spanning in Utrecht.<\/p>\n

El Karouani is uitgegroeid tot een van de sleutelspelers in de selectie en zijn marktwaarde wordt geschat op 12,9 miljoen euro. Dat maakt hem tot een van de meest waardevolle bezittingen van de club, daarom wil Utrecht zo snel mogelijk duidelijkheid over zijn toekomst.<\/p>\n

De zorg is dat, als er niet tijdig een overeenkomst wordt bereikt, Utrecht hem uiteindelijk zonder transfersom zou kunnen zien vertrekken. Met nog maar \u00e9\u00e9n jaar resterend op zijn contract na dit seizoen, loopt de club het risico de controle over de situatie te verliezen als de gesprekken niet vorderen.<\/p>\n

Tegelijkertijd is onthuld dat El Karouani kosteloos kan vertrekken bij FC Utrecht, een detail dat de druk op de club om snel te handelen vergroot.<\/p>\n

Utrecht wil niet in een positie worden gebracht waarin zij tegen een lagere prijs moeten verkopen of geconfronteerd worden met het verlies van de speler zonder vergoeding. Voor nu ligt de focus op het vinden van een oplossing die de belangen van de club beschermt en El Karouani tegelijkertijd een duidelijk pad biedt voor de volgende stap in zijn carri\u00e8re.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
