Mohamed Sherif on the Verge of Returning to Al Ahly… Crucial Meeting Brings Him Closer to the Red Castle
Mohamed Sherif is close to returning to Al Ahly on a free transfer after a crucial meeting with Mohamed Youssef.
Mohamed Sherif, the former Al Ahly striker, is on the verge of officially rejoining the Red Devils, after a decisive meeting scheduled for this Wednesday evening with Mohamed Youssef, Al Ahly’s Sporting Director, to put the finishing touches on the anticipated deal.
According to informed sources, the session will finalize all contractual terms, including the formal signing of documents, allowing Sherif to return to Al Ahly on a free transfer following the conclusion of his brief overseas stint with Saudi Arabia’s Al Khaleej Club.
Sherif’s comeback is part of Al Ahly’s administrative and technical moves to reinforce the squad ahead of the 2025–2026 season, particularly in light of the management’s efforts to secure effective attacking options for upcoming domestic and continental competitions, foremost among them the CAF Champions League, the Egyptian Premier League, and the Egypt Cup.
Sherif enjoys tremendous confidence within Al Ahly’s corridors, thanks to the strong performances he delivered during his previous spell—performances that helped him lift multiple trophies, including the CAF Champions League, the CAF Super Cup, and the domestic league, and that saw him score decisive goals in critical matches, cementing his reputation as one of the club’s leading forwards.
Signaling the deal’s imminent conclusion, sports broadcaster Ahmed Shobeir tweeted simply, “Mohamed Sherif is an Ahly player,” a brief but clear message affirming the striker’s return to the red jersey now that his commitment to his former club has officially ended.
A sense of optimism prevails at Al Ahly regarding the transfer, as the management believes Sherif’s return will be a major asset—given his international experience, his ability to perform under pressure, and his familiarity with the club’s style of play and teammates, making him ready to slot straight into the coach’s plans.
For his part, Sherif is looking to start a new chapter at Al Ahly, expressing his desire to regain his top form and deliver standout performances that will bolster his chances of being recalled to the national team—especially with the 2026 World Cup qualifiers approaching and the Egyptian squad preparing for tough upcoming fixtures.
