Club career
[edit]In 2020, Ghalidi joined Standard Liège from Sint-Truiden, having earlier played for Anderlecht and Union SG. After taking part in a winter training camp with the first team, he signed a contract of undisclosed length in January 2022, aged 16.[2]
On 10 April 2022, Ghalidi made his debut in the Belgian Pro League, in a 3–0 loss away to his previous club. He came on as a substitute in the 64th minute.[3]
It was reported by French website Foot Mercato in October 2023 that Ghalidi was being tracked by the Big Three of Turkish football, namely Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş.[4] In November, leading Standard's reserve team for goals and assists in the third-tier Belgian National Division 1, Ghalidi signed a new contract to last until 2026.[5] He returned to the first team the following 5 May in a 3–1 loss at OH Leuven, again from the bench.[3]
International career
