The pair have also reportedly decided that they are going to maintain their stance to only play Wydad once the Red Castle have played all their games in hand.
The record Moroccan first division champions had some of their matches postponed due to their participation in the inaugural African Football League tournament, and have played two games less than their rivals as things stand.
The same report claims that Raja have sent a request to the league in this regard.
