Moncef Zekri nearing transfer to Sporting CP

Overview

Sporting CP has moved closer to securing the transfer of 17-year-old Moroccan left-back Moncef Zekri from Belgian club KV Mechelen. Despite earlier considerations regarding the defender’s inexperience and competition from PSV Eindhoven, Sporting CP appears to have won the race for the player.

Following a reported bid of approximately €3.5 million, Zekri is reportedly en route to Lisbon to undergo a medical examination and finalize the deal. The defender, who has earned the nickname ‘het Mechelse goudhaantje’ in Belgium, has made 21 senior appearances for Mechelen. He remains under contract with the Belgian side until mid-2028.
