Yahya Atiyatallah, a defender for Wydad Casablanca, reportedly enjoys a five-fold boost in market worth as a result of his outstanding performances for Morocco at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Youssef Al-Nusairi scored the game-winning goal after Atiyatallah’s pivotal pass against Portugal in the World Cup quarterfinals helped the Arab nation advance to the semi-finals for the first time ever.
The 27-yera-old has made four appearances for Morocco and has helped his side keep four clean sheets in five matches, only denied 100 per cent record by an own goal conceded against Canada in the group stage.
Atiyatullah’s superb display is attracting interest from several clubs in Europe ahead of the January transfer window.
It believed that Wydad Casablanca will reject any offer to keep hold of their prized asset.
Morocco will face holders France in the semifinals at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday.
A win over France will see Morocco become the first-ever African country to reach the final of the World Cup.
