Al Ahly Seeks Financial Terms for Sofiane Benjedida

In a notable development from the world of football, Al Ahly Club has reached out to their counterparts at Wydad Fes in Morocco to inquire about the financial demands for the transfer of Moroccan forward Sofiane Benjedida. The 25-year-old player has been under the spotlight due to his impressive performances, garnering interest not only from Al Ahly but also from various clubs in the Gulf region, as well as a lucrative offer from Pyramids FC, which has further intensified the competition for his signature.

Reports indicate that Al Ahly is keen to secure Benjedida's transfer before he commits to another club, given the growing interest in his services. The club has assigned Tunisian Anis Boujalban, the newly appointed head of scouting, to oversee the negotiations. Boujalban is set to travel to Morocco for direct talks with Wydad Fes's management, aiming to finalize the deal and announce it officially in favor of Al Ahly.

Player's Willingness and Contractual Details

According to sources within Al Ahly, Benjedida has expressed his willingness to don the red jersey in the upcoming season, pending the successful conclusion of negotiations with Wydad Fes. The Moroccan club is also poised to secure the best financial deal from this transfer, especially considering that there is reportedly a substantial release clause in Benjedida's contract, which could reach up to $3 million. After starting his career at Standard Liège in Belgium in 2023 and moving to Brussels, he returned to Morocco in the summer of 2025 to sign with Wydad Fes, where he is bound by a contract until 2028.

As Al Ahly continues to navigate its way through the current season, they currently stand third in the Premier League with 53 points, trailing behind Zamalek, who has clinched the title, while Pyramids FC occupies the second spot. Additionally, Al Ahly is gearing up for participation in the Confederation Cup, further emphasizing the club's ambitions to bolster its squad ahead of crucial competitions.
