🔴 Al Ahly Begin Defensive Reinforcement Plans
Al Ahly have reportedly started making early moves to strengthen the first-team squad during the upcoming January transfer window, with particular attention being given to the defense.
The move comes following a recommendation from Hussein Ammouta, the team’s head coach, as the center-back position has emerged as one of the club’s priorities ahead of the second half of the season.
📋 3 Defenders on Al Ahly’s Radar
According to the source, Al Ahly have placed several local defenders under close monitoring as the club assesses potential options for January.
The reported shortlist includes:
Mostafa Ibrahim, defender of Al Ittihad Alexandria.
Mohamed Hussein, defender of ZED.
Mahmoud El-Gazzar, player of National Bank of Egypt.
The three players have reportedly attracted the attention of the coaching staff, with the club expected to continue evaluating their options before deciding which player to pursue during the upcoming transfer window.
🚑 Amr El-Gazzar Injury Pushes Al Ahly Toward a New Signing
The club’s plans follow an earlier decision to pursue a new local defender after Amr El-Gazzar suffered a cruciate ligament tear, an injury that is expected to keep him out for at least six months according to the information provided in the source.
Al Ahly’s management has also reportedly allocated a specific budget for a defensive signing during the January window, with the aim of addressing the shortage in the back line and strengthening the squad for the remainder of the season.
📢 Raza Slim Reportedly Outside Ammouta’s Plans
In another development within the Al Ahly squad, sources have reported new details regarding the future of Moroccan winger Raza Slim.
According to those sources, Hussein Ammouta does not currently include Raza Slim in his technical plans for the coming period, amid the player’s limited involvement in the manager’s plans.
The sources also claimed that Ammouta has informed the player that he should look for a new club during the upcoming transfer window, where he could potentially find greater opportunities to play.
🔎 Raza Slim’s Future Awaits a Decision
Raza Slim is now reportedly waiting for a decision over his future, with his name linked to several clubs as the next transfer window approaches.
The final decision over whether he will remain with Al Ahly or leave the club is still pending, according to the source.
The January transfer window could therefore bring several changes to Al Ahly’s squad, both through the arrival of a new defender and through decisions regarding players who may not be part of the current coaching staff’s plans.
