Rogério Matias Pushes for the Signing of Mohamed Amine Katiba
In an exclusive report from Africafoot, Rogério Matias, the newly appointed sporting director of Raja Club Athletic, is making a strong case for the acquisition of Mohamed Amine Katiba. The Portuguese director is prioritizing the recruitment of the talented midfielder currently playing for Hassania d’Agadir, with hopes of finalizing the deal promptly. Matias aims to integrate Katiba into the team as they commence their preparation camp in Agadir, which began on August 17.
According to sources familiar with the situation, Matias is closely monitoring Katiba’s progress and is eager to expedite negotiations with Hassania d’Agadir. His goal is to secure the player’s transfer swiftly, enabling him to join his new teammates as they gear up for the upcoming season.
This initiative from Raja Club Athletic comes at a time when Katiba's potential move to Córdoba CF, which seemed imminent a few weeks ago, has yet to be finalized. As previously reported by Africafoot, negotiations had advanced significantly, yet the Spanish club has faced delays in executing the transfer. This situation now presents an opportunity for Raja Club to step in and persuade both the player and Hassania d’Agadir to consider their offer.
At just 21 years old, Mohamed Amine Katiba has garnered attention due to his impressive performances with Hassania d’Agadir and his considerable potential. As highlighted earlier by Africafoot, several European clubs have expressed interest in the Moroccan midfielder, including a team from the Polish Ekstraklasa, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Le Havre AC. Frankfurt even submitted an offer that was ultimately rejected by Hassania d’Agadir due to disagreements regarding the transfer fee.
Raja Club Athletic is keen to take advantage of Córdoba's delay to finalize Katiba's arrival. Rogério Matias is personally advocating for this transfer, aiming to expedite the process so that the midfielder can join the squad in Agadir as soon as possible. The upcoming hours are anticipated to be critical for the future of this young and promising player.
