In recent developments regarding Al Ahly's negotiations to sign Moroccan player Sofiane Benjdia from Wydad Fassi, prominent sports journalist Jamal Ghandoor has revealed that the player continues to resist the idea of transferring to the prestigious club, despite Al Ahly's keen interest in securing his services. During a television interview, Ghandoor disclosed that the management of Al Ahly has intensified its efforts in the past few days to finalize the deal, especially since Wydad Fassi has shown willingness to sell the player and has not opposed continuing negotiations. However, Benjdia’s reluctance to embark on a professional journey in the Egyptian Premier League remains the primary obstacle in concluding the transfer.
Ghandoor further mentioned that Al Ahly's head coach, Moroccan Hassan Ammouta, is determined to finalize this transfer and is actively trying to persuade the player to join the team. Ammouta believes in Benjdia’s technical abilities and sees him as a perfect fit for the team’s requirements in the upcoming period, a sentiment echoed by the club's management regarding his skill set. Moreover, it was noted that Al Ahly has not closed the door on negotiating with Benjdia and continues its efforts to convince him to reconsider his stance. The strong relationship between Ammouta and the player, along with Ammouta's extensive knowledge of Moroccan football, is being leveraged in hopes of reaching an agreement soon.
