Moroccan heavyweights Raja Casablanca are edging closer to completing the signing of Nigerian forward Mathias Oyewusi as part of their squad reinforcement plans ahead of the new season, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The 26-year-old striker is expected to arrive in Casablanca in the coming days to conclude final negotiations and complete all necessary formalities before putting pen to paper on a deal with the Green Eagles. Discussions between both parties are understood to be at an advanced stage, with only minor details left before the move is officially confirmed.
Oyewusi is expected to add depth and versatility to Raja Casablanca’s attacking department, bringing with him valuable European experience acquired during his time abroad. The Nigerian forward previously featured for French club Valenciennes FC, where he was exposed to the tactical demands of European football, before moving to Ukraine to play for Kolos Kovalivka. His stint in the Ukrainian top flight further helped shape his physicality, movement, and understanding of high-intensity competitive football.
Raja Casablanca, one of Africa’s most successful clubs, is keen to strengthen its squad as it prepares for a demanding campaign that includes domestic league duties and continental competitions. The club’s management believes Oyewusi’s profile fits their vision of combining youthful energy with international exposure, as they aim to remain competitive on all fronts.
For Oyewusi, the impending move represents a significant step in his career, offering him the opportunity to showcase his talents on one of Africa’s biggest club stages. Playing for Raja Casablanca also presents a chance to compete regularly in CAF competitions, which could boost his visibility and open the door to further opportunities at both club and international levels.
An official announcement is expected once the Nigerian forward arrives in Casablanca and completes his medicals, bringing an end to weeks of speculation surrounding his future.
