Al Ahly Signs Soufiane Benjdida from Maghreb Fassi
In a significant move within the summer transfer window, Egyptian football club Al Ahly has officially announced the acquisition of Moroccan forward Soufiane Benjdida. The talented striker joins the team from Maghreb Fassi on a three-year contract valued at $2.2 million, with additional performance-based incentives amounting to $500,000. Benjdida's recruitment marks the third signing for Al Ahly during this transfer period, following the additions of Ali Mahmoud and Oktay Abdullah, all under the guidance of newly appointed Moroccan coach, Hussein Amouta.
Benjdida's Impressive Track Record
Last season, Soufiane Benjdida showcased his exceptional skills by scoring 20 goals for Maghreb Fassi, earning him the title of top scorer in the Moroccan league and playing a pivotal role in his team's championship victory. His arrival in Cairo is anticipated to bolster Al Ahly's attacking options, especially in light of the recent departures of players such as Wissam Abu Ali and the decision not to extend the loan of Eltsen Kamouesh. Additionally, reports suggest that Mohamed Sherif is nearing a transfer to Al Masry. The club is also engaged in advanced negotiations with Algerian forward Mansif Biqar, who is expected to join after completing his commitments with Dinamo Zagreb in the European playoff round.
Al Ahly aims to compensate its fans after a challenging season, finishing third in the Egyptian Premier League and failing to qualify for the African Champions League, securing only the local Super Cup title. The club is determined to enhance its squad depth and competitiveness for the upcoming season, with Benjdida expected to play a crucial role in achieving those goals.
