Lorch’s agent Steve Kapelushnik confirmed the player’s move to Wydad, He signed a six month loan from Sundowns.
However Wydad are yet to confirm the news.
Lorch joined the Brazilians in January 2023, but his stay at the club dramatically changed following the departure of Rulani Mokwena and Manqoba Mngqithi as he only played six matches this season.
With 11 games before the curtain comes down on the Botola Pro League, Wydad are just 10 points behind log leaders RS Berkane.
The Red Castle last won the Botola title in the 2021/22 season. Last season, they experienced a significant setback, failing to qualify for any of the CAF interclub competitions.
Currently, third, they will still fancy their chances of causing a late upset. Among others, they have signed top goalkeeper El Mehdi Benabid. The former AS FAR Rabat star is arguably the best goalie in Morocco’s domestic league and is part of the national team.
