Dari boasts an impressive record of 164 professional club matches across all competitions, contributing 12 goals and 2 assists. He also holds international experience, representing Morocco on multiple occasions, notably featuring in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. During the tournament, he made 3 appearances and even found the net once.

While Belgian media reported interest from Rayo Vallecano in Spain and Anderlecht in the Belgian league in late January, Charleroi secured his loan, despite earlier reports suggesting he favored the Spanish offer.
