El Moutaraji started his career with Wydad AC at the age of 18 as a replacement for the injured Reda Hajhouj. He was linked with a move to Italy's Juventus as a junior, but the move never materialised.[3]
In 2017, El Moutaraji was loaned to Olympique Club de Khouribga, where he scored ten league goals, including one against Wydad.[4][5] He finished tied for fifth in the league goalscoring table.[6]
El Moutaraji returned to Wydad after his loan spell and played several games for them in the 2018–19 CAF Champions League, scoring goals against Horoya and ASEC Mimosas.[7] On 30 May 2022, El Moutaraji scored a brace for Wydad in a 2–0 win over Al Ahly in the 2022 CAF Champions League Final, and won the man of the match award.[8]
