FC Utrecht is reportedly not planning to sell Souffian El Karouani to PSV before the transfer window closes. El Karouani, a key player for Utrecht since his arrival in the summer of 2023, has drawn interest from PSV, who see him as a potential replacement for Matteo Dams, set to move to Al Ahli. Utrecht is reluctant to let El Karouani leave this winter, as they have ambitious goals for the season, including securing a spot in European competitions. With El Karouani under contract until the summer of 2026, Utrecht may consider selling him in the summer if they receive a satisfactory offer.
