Media personality Abdel Nasser Zidan revealed new details about reports claiming that Libyan club Al Ahly Benghazi was interested in signing Al Ahly duo Ashraf Bencharki and Yasser Ibrahim during the current transfer window.
According to Zidan, citing sources familiar with the situation, Al Ahly Benghazi denied holding negotiations with Al Ahly over a possible move for Moroccan forward Ashraf Bencharki.
The Libyan club reportedly has a player in Bencharki’s position, which makes a move for the Moroccan difficult under the current circumstances.
No Talks for Yasser Ibrahim
Zidan also reported that Al Ahly Benghazi denied negotiating with Yasser Ibrahim or planning to sign the Al Ahly defender during the current transfer window.
Based on these statements, the reports linking the Libyan club with both Al Ahly players do not reflect ongoing formal negotiations between the clubs at this stage.
Mohamed El Shenawy Speaks to Bencharki
Meanwhile, Abdel Nasser Zidan revealed that Al Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy has spoken with Ashraf Bencharki in an attempt to convince him to remain at the Cairo club and renew his contract.
Bencharki’s current contract is scheduled to expire at the end of the season, meaning he could leave as a free agent if an agreement over an extension is not reached.
According to the information cited by Zidan, Bencharki wants a higher annual salary than his current deal, which is reportedly worth around $1.1 million per year.
Al Ahly’s Position on Bencharki’s Salary
Al Ahly is reportedly seeking to maintain Bencharki’s current salary as part of its policy of reducing the wage ceiling for foreign players.
At the same time, the Moroccan forward has received interest from Arab clubs, including what Zidan described as a significant offer from a Libyan club.
Bencharki’s future is therefore expected to remain a topic of attention as the end of his contract approaches and other clubs show interest in securing his services.
