Souffian El Karouani leaves FC Utrecht. The left-back signed elsewhere and will start a new adventure as a free agent. El Karouani had a contract expiring in the Domstad and was a highly sought-after transfer target. Fenerbahçe and Ajax were mentioned as potential new clubs, but it seems to be Saudi Arabian Al Qadisiya. El Karouani can not yet confirm this. Also in his last home game for Utrecht, he was again of great value to the team. In the semi-finals of the playoffs, he noted an assist on Mike van der Hoorn. Later he scored the 3-1. Utrecht won the match against sc Heerenveen ultimately with 3-2, but lost in the final against Ajax. As a free agent, the left-back will start a new adventure. 'I want to thank you very much', El Karouani addresses the supporters of Utrecht in a farewell video. 'I had a great time here. You can best know: without you, we can not do this either. Because you motivate us in a certain way.' El Karouani was good for 18 assists throughout the season, in total he played 119 games for Utrecht. If it's up to the wing defender, there will be more of this in the future. 'You will certainly see me again, in any role. I hope still as a footballer', he closed. The strong season of El Karouani did not result in a place in the Moroccan World Cup selection. We love you, Souf!
