president of Maghreb Fes’ sports company, revealed new details about the completion of the deal, explaining that the player had been under close observation by the Moroccan club for a long time before becoming a target for one of Africa’s biggest clubs.

Benis confirmed that Benjedida’s move to Al Ahly was not a sudden decision, but rather the result of continuous monitoring, as Maghreb Fes believed in his technical abilities and potential to reach a higher level.


⭐ Maghreb Fes Trusted Benjedida’s Talent

The club official explained that Maghreb Fes followed the Moroccan striker before the start of last season and considered him a player capable of making a major impact.

He highlighted Benjedida’s professionalism and commitment both on and off the pitch, which helped him gain the trust of the technical staff and supporters during his time with the club.

The striker continued improving his level, eventually attracting attention from several clubs before Al Ahly won the race for his signature during the summer transfer window.


📢 Media Pressure Helped Speed Up The Deal

Omar Benis also discussed the negotiations with Al Ahly, confirming that the first steps were not as expected, as the Egyptian club initially made only verbal offers that did not reach an official agreement.

He explained that Maghreb Fes wanted an offer matching the player’s value, so the club used media pressure to push negotiations forward.

Benis said: “I asked why our player would leave for a club playing in the Confederation Cup while we are participating in the Champions League. After that, Al Ahly’s official offer arrived.”

🔥 He added that this move changed the direction of negotiations and pushed Al Ahly to take more serious steps toward reaching a final agreement.


💰 Al Ahly Salary Decided The Player’s Future

The Maghreb Fes president revealed that the financial aspect played a major role in completing the transfer, especially due to the difference between Benjedida’s previous salary and his new contract with Al Ahly.

He confirmed that the striker’s salary at Al Ahly represents a major step in his professional career, adding that his income with the Egyptian club is almost equal to the total salaries of the top three clubs in Morocco.

Benis explained that the club did not want to stand in the player’s way or prevent him from taking this important opportunity.


⚽ Al Ahly Bets On A New Attacking Addition

Al Ahly’s signing of Soufiane Benjedida comes as part of the club’s plan to strengthen its squad before the new season, especially with the technical staff looking for more attacking options.

The Moroccan striker is capable of playing in different attacking positions, while his speed and movement inside the penalty area were among the reasons behind Al Ahly’s interest.

Al Ahly fans hope that Benjedida can make a strong impact and follow the path of Moroccan players who previously left their mark at the club.


🏆 A Deal Full Of Ambitions

Soufiane Benjedida’s transfer represents an important step in the player’s career, while also being a valuable addition for Al Ahly as the club continues searching for players capable of competing on all fronts.

Between the player’s ambition for a new challenge and Al Ahly’s desire to strengthen its attack, Benjedida begins a new chapter in his career, with fans eagerly waiting to see what he can deliver in the Red Castle shirt. ⭐✨
