Al Ahly Club is actively seeking to bolster its first-team football attack during the current summer transfer window, in coordination with the new head coach, Hussein Amouta. Recently, the club held a press conference at its headquarters in Gezira to officially introduce the Moroccan coach to the media as he embarks on his mission ahead of the upcoming 2026-2027 season.
Recent Croatian reports have indicated that Al Ahly has submitted an offer to acquire Monsef Bakkar during this summer's transfer period. As reported by yallakora.com.
Al Ahly's Strategy for Striker Recruitment
A source within Al Ahly disclosed in exclusive statements to Yalla Kora that discussions have indeed commenced with Monsef Bakkar, and negotiations with Sofiane Ben Jeddia have been renewed following the conclusion of the Moroccan league. Furthermore, the source highlighted that negotiations with Jordanian player Ali Alwan are still ongoing, alongside continued communication with representatives of Algerian forward Nadir Ben Bouali, who plays for Hungary's Gyori.
The club has earmarked a substantial budget of up to $5 million aimed at securing two foreign signings. Should negotiations progress positively with any duo from this four-player shortlist, this budget will be allocated for the new offensive reinforcement. The priority for coach Hussein Amouta is to secure the signing of Sofiane Ben Jeddia, a forward from FUS Rabat, and his agent Anis has already received the player's approval.
However, the management of FUS Rabat continues to demand exorbitant financial terms and is awaiting a resolution as they review other offers presented for the standout forward, which are anticipated to reach the Moroccan club this summer. The source also noted that Nadir Ben Bouali is considered a top priority for the club's management, on equal footing with Monsef Bakkar, and Hussein Amouta has not expressed any objections to this strategy.
In closing, the source stated that Ali Alwan remains the most prominent option as an alternative should the club fail to reach an agreement with the first three choices to enhance the attacking lineup.
