Couhaib Driouech appears to be edging closer to a new chapter in his career.

The Moroccan international was left out of PSV Eindhoven's squad for their emphatic 5-1 victory over Groningen, further fueling speculation that his departure from the Dutch champions is now imminent.

Celta Vigo Move Takes Shape

According to Dutch reports, Celta Vigo have reached a verbal agreement with PSV over a transfer worth around €8 million.

The Spanish club is now preparing for the next important step, with Driouech expected to undergo a medical examination before the move can be officially completed.

If he successfully passes the medical and all remaining details are finalized, the Moroccan winger will become a Celta Vigo player.

A Move to Spain at Last?

Driouech had previously been linked with a move to Rangers, but that transfer ultimately failed to materialize.

The reported agreement with Celta could now give the 23-year-old an opportunity to realize his original preference of continuing his career in Spain.

His technical qualities, creativity, and ability to operate in attacking areas could provide another exciting dimension to his career as he prepares to take on a new challenge in La Liga.

Another Moroccan Ready for La Liga

A move to Celta Vigo would represent an important step for Driouech, giving him the opportunity to test himself in one of Europe's most technically demanding leagues.

For Moroccan football, his potential arrival in Spain would also add another Atlas Lion to a growing group of Moroccan talents making their mark across Europe's biggest competitions.

The medical stands between Driouech and his next adventure. If everything goes to plan, Spain could soon become the stage for the next chapter of his Moroccan football story.
