According to reports from North Africa, Thembinkosi Lorch's representatives are set to fly out to Morocco later this week to finalise the South African star's future at Wydad Athletic Club.
Wydad have reportedly already expressed their desire to sign Lorch on a permanent deal after he joined the side on loan during the January transfer window from parent club Mamelodi Sundowns.

Reports in Morocco suggest that Wydad have already informed both Sundowns and Lorch’s camp of their intention to retain the player.
However, it was reported last week that Wydad were concerned about Lorch's loan agreement not including an automatic purchase clause.
As such, the club have reportedly been in regular contact with Sundowns in an effort to find a swift solution, especially with other potential suitors monitoring Lorch’s situation.
Now, according to journalist Adel El Amari, who is also the host of the programme The Truth in 90 Minutes, Lorch has already expressed his desire to continue his career at Wydad.
Radio Mars report that Lorch's agent will be in Moroccco on Thursday to discuss the future of his client.
El Amari also claimed that Lorch’s stance has increased the likelihood of an agreement being reached when his agent meets with Wydad representatives on Thursday.
Lastly, El Amari suggested that Lorch has now become a top priority for the club before they make any new signings.
