In recent hours, there has been a significant shift in the negotiations concerning Al Ahly's pursuit of Moroccan striker Soufiane Benjdida. This change follows the club's direct and official engagement with the management of Morocco Fassi, marking a departure from the previous lengthy discussions that were primarily conducted through intermediaries and marketing agencies.
According to the platform "Set Info," details have emerged regarding the direct negotiations between the two clubs. The management of Morocco Fassi is adamant about receiving the full amount of the release clause embedded in Benjdida's contract, which is set at a hefty $4 million, as a prerequisite for his departure.
In contrast, Al Ahly's administration is vigorously working to reduce this substantial financial demand. They are proposing an alternative offer that includes a specific monetary figure, supplemented by additional bonuses and incentives tied to the player's participation, his on-field performance, and the championships he may secure with the Red Club.
In an unexpected and intriguing turn of events, coach Hussein Ammouta has directly entered the negotiations. He reached out to Benjdida via phone to present the ambitious project of Al Ahly for the upcoming season. During this conversation, he elaborated on the tactical role envisioned for the player within the team's framework, aiming to persuade him to represent the historic African champions.
Despite this strong intervention from Ammouta, negotiations among the three parties have yet to reach a final and official agreement due to ongoing disputes regarding financial terms.
