A former Real Madrid star is in talks to switch his international allegiance from Spain to Morocco.
Morocco have a star-studded squad, who impressed at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, after they became the first African side to reach the semi-final stage of the competition.
However, Walid Regragui's side appear to be showing no sign of slowing down as they look to bolster the squad ahead of the next major tournament.
Prior to the World Cup, it was said that Anwar El Ghazi was considering a switch, but the Atlas Lions' pursuit of the ex-Ajax winger did not amount to anything.
