Raja Casablanca, Orkuma Locked in Contract Standoff Ahead of Winter Window

Raja Casablanca have been plunged into a contract dispute with Nigerian midfielder Moses Orkuma following a decision by head coach Davies Fadlo to place the former Flying Eagles star on the club’s release list ahead of the winter transfer window.

The move, driven by concerns over Orkuma’s performances, has sparked tense negotiations between the player and the Moroccan giants.

Coach Fadlo is understood to have raised red flags over Orkuma’s technical output, citing noticeable deficiencies that have failed to meet the club’s competitive standards.

As Raja look to streamline their squad and inject fresh quality midway through the season, Orkuma has emerged as one of the high-profile casualties of the planned reshuffle.

However, the situation has escalated into a financial and contractual impasse. Orkuma, who joined the Green Eagles last summer on the recommendation of former coach Lassad Chabbi, is refusing to accept a contract termination unless Raja Casablanca fully settle his outstanding entitlements.

Sources close to the player confirm that he is demanding complete payment of his contract, a stance reinforced by his status as the highest-paid player in the squad.

With the winter window fast approaching, Raja Casablanca now face a strategic dilemma: resolve the dispute swiftly to avoid disruption or risk a prolonged standoff that could impact squad harmony and finances.

For Orkuma, the message is clear—no settlement, no exit. In boardroom terms, this is no longer just a sporting decision; it’s a balance-sheet problem that demands decisive action.
