Al Ain Football Club announced its official position on the idea of Moroccan star Soufiane Rahimi leaving Al Ain after leading the “Atlas Lions” to achieve the bronze medal in the “Paris 2024” Summer Olympics, in which he won the title of top scorer after scoring 8 goals.
The recent period witnessed many rumors on social media about the player’s imminent departure after a number of French and Saudi clubs entered into negotiations to obtain the signature of the Moroccan international player.
Al Ain Football Club Board Member, Mohammed Ibrahim Al Mahmoud, said in press statements to Al-Riyadhiya Channel:
Al-Maghribia: “Soufiane Rahimi is 100% Ainawi and we have no interest in considering any offers and he is aware of that. He is also the son of the club, the city of Al Ain, and the relationship that connects us with him is bigger than football.”
The Moroccan national team won the bronze medal after defeating its Egyptian counterpart 6-0 in the third-place match, a match in which Soufiane Rahimi scored two goals, raising his tally to 8 goals, to win the top scorer title.
By scoring 8 goals during the current tournament, Soufiane became the first Moroccan player to score this number of goals, and he also equaled the record of the Egyptian player Mustafa Riyad, who also scored 8 goals during the Tokyo tournament in 1964, and the Argentine Carlos Tevez, who scored 8 goals in the 2004 Olympics held in Athens.
It is worth noting that Rahimi scored in all of the Moroccan national team’s matches in the Olympics, starting with the three group stage matches, during the quarter-finals and semi-finals, and he continued to leave his mark in the third-place match that gave his country the bronze medal.
