The value of the Moroccan national soccer team’s players on the transfer market has increased by more than 77% after a historic participation in the last World Cup Qatar 2022, the Spanish sports daily “AS” reported Monday.

“The players of the Moroccan national team are in fashion. They are on the shopping list of many clubs. All of them, without exception, have increased their value on the mercato after the World Cup in Qatar. Their historic fourth place, based on impeccable team play, has left no one behind,” the paper said.

“Overall, the value of the Atlas Lions has appreciated by an average of 77.2% and the stocks of names like Ounahi, Amrabat and Cheddira have increased more than media names like Mbappé, Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández,” the publication noted.

“One of the clubs with the most to gain is Angers, currently the bottom of the French Ligue 1, which could receive a significant financial injection if it sells one of its most valued players after the World Cup in Qatar, Azzedine Ounahi,” according to “AS”.

The Angers midfielder has performed spectacularly throughout the tournament and his market value has risen from €3.50 million to €15 million, an increase of 328.5%, a staggering figure considering that the value of stars such as Jude Bellingham has increased by 10% (from €100 million to €110 million), said the same source.

“Another Moroccan player who has benefited from the World Cup is Sofyan Amrabat. The rating of the Fiorentina player has soared. To be precise, 150%,” added the Spanish daily.

With a market value of 10 million euros before the start of the tournament in Qatar, a possible transfer of Amrabat would cost no less than 25 million euros, the paper said, noting that his name is on the radar of clubs like Atletico Madrid, which has just loaned Joao Felix to Chelsea and has a place for “the star player of Morocco and the revelation of the tournament”.
