Wydad Casablanca signs former AC Milan player – Media7

Wydad Casablanca, one of Morocco’s most prestigious football clubs, announced this Sunday a major signing to strengthen its offensive sector. This is Senegalese player Mbaye Niang, a former AC Milan striker, who joins Wydad’s ranks after the end of his contract with Empoli, an Italian Serie A club.

Mbaye Niang, a major recruit for Wydad

The Moroccan club made Niang’s arrival official via its Facebook page, where it published a photo of the player accompanied by the message: “Ladies and gentlemen, Niang is here!” This announcement quickly made the rounds of local media, including the specialist site “Al Botola”, which highlighted the importance of this signing.

Mbaye Niang, 29, is an experienced striker with an impressive track record in European football. Apart from AC Milan, he has played for several notable clubs such as Empoli, Montpellier and Bordeaux in France, as well as Watford in England. His experience in Europe should add value to Wydad’s attack as they look to strengthen for the upcoming competitions.

A new dynamic under the presidency of Hicham Aït Manna

Since the arrival of its new president, Hicham Aït Manna, Wydad has carried out an aggressive recruitment campaign during this summer transfer window. In total, the club has signed 15 new players, with the aim of solidifying all the lines of the team and remaining competitive on both the domestic and continental scene.

The recruitment of Niang, in particular, demonstrates Wydad’s desire to equip itself with an attack capable of competing at the highest level, both in the Moroccan championship and in the African Champions League. Aït Manna has clearly demonstrated his ambition to bring Wydad back to the top of African football, and this signing is part of this strategy.

A challenge for Mbaye Niang

For Niang, this transfer represents a new step in his career, with the opportunity to shine on a new continent. Having already played in some of the most competitive leagues in Europe, he will now have to adapt to the Moroccan style of play and the constant pressure of a club of Wydad’s stature.

Wydad fans are eagerly awaiting to see their new signing in action, hoping that Niang can bring the experience and goals needed to guide the team to further success.
