Boufal embarks on new adventure with Libya’s Al-Ittihad
Former Southampton midfielder Sofiane Boufal joins on a free transfer after spells with clubs in France, England, Spain, Belgium and Qatar.
Former Southampton midfielder Sofiane Boufal has signed with Libyan Premier League side Al-Ittihad on a free transfer, the Tripoli-based club announced on Monday. The 32-year-old Moroccan has had a varied career, playing for clubs in France, England, Spain, Belgium, and Qatar before his latest move. Al-Ittihad's official Facebook page hailed Boufal as a "magician" and welcomed him to the Libyan capital of Tripoli to commence a new chapter in his career.
The attacking midfielder, who previously played for Southampton, Celta Vigo, and Lille, was also part of Morocco's World Cup semi-final-winning squad at the 2022 tournament in Qatar. However, he was not included in Morocco's roster for the 2026 World Cup. Al-Ittihad hopes Boufal's experience and creativity will bolster their aspirations to win domestic honors in the new season.
