On 10 July 2017, Schalke 04 announced the signing of Harit on a four-year contract. The transfer fee paid to Nantes was reported as €8 million, which could rise to €10 million with bonuses.[5] He made his debut for the German club on 14 August in a DFB-Pokal against BFC Dynamo. He started the match and came off at halftime of a 2–0 away win.[6]

On 25 November 2017, Harit scored his first ever Bundesliga goal against Ruhr rivals Borussia Dortmund as Schalke overturned a 4–0 deficit to a 4–4 draw in a historic Revierderby match.[citation needed] He was named Bundesliga 'Rookie of the Month' for December 2017,[7] going on to take the 'Bundesliga Rookie of the Year' award for the 2017–18 season.

On 11 December 2019, Harit extended his contract with Schalke for a further three years, until 2024.[8]

Marseille

edit

On 2 September 2021, it was announced that Harit was loaned out to Ligue 1 club Marseille for the 2021–22 Ligue 1 season.[9] He made his debut for the club in a 2–0 Ligue 1 away win over Monaco, delivering an assist for the second goal.[10] In the following match, against Rennes, Harit came on in the 59th minute and scored 12 minutes later, his first goal with OM.[11] On 20 April 2022, he scored the winning goal in a 3–2 home win over his former club Nantes.[12]

On 1 September 2022, Harit joined Marseille again for a season-long loan, this time with an option to make the move permanent.[13] On 7 November, his transfer to OM was made permanent for a fee in the region of €5 million.[14] After having made his 15th appearance of the season, an obligation-to-buy clause in his contract was triggered.[15]

Harit played for the France national youth teams starting from the France U18s until the France U21s. He is Moroccan by descent, and refused a call up to the Morocco U19s in October 2015.[16] He even went to play for France again. However, on 12 September 2017, Harit decided to switch his allegiance to the Morocco national team.[17]

On 7 October 2017, Harit made his international debut for Morocco in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Gabon at the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, replacing Nordin Amrabat in the 90th minute of the 3–0 victory.[18]

In May 2018, he was named in Morocco's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[19]

On 10 November 2022, he was named in Morocco's 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[20][21] On 13 November, he sustained a knee injury which ruled him out of the World Cup.[22]

On 17 October 2023, Harit scored his first goal for the national team in a 3–0 victory against Liberia.[23][24]

Personal life

edit

In June 2018, Harit was behind the wheel in a fatal road traffic accident in Marrakesh which resulted in the death of a 28 year old pedestrian. Less than three weeks after the accident, Harit returned to training with Schalke. The Moroccan international was later sentenced to a four-month suspended sentence and a fine of approximately 8,600 dirhams (Euros 780).[25]

On March 20, 2020, during the early stages of COVID-19, Harit visited a shisha bar while disregarding the club's isolation mandate.[26] It was later reported that Harit was fined 100,000 euros by Schalke.[27]
