Al Ahly Pursues Sofiane Benjdida from Wydad Fassi
In recent developments, Al Ahly, one of Egypt's most prominent football clubs, has taken steps towards acquiring Sofiane Benjdida, a striker from Wydad Fassi, as they aim to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. According to sports journalist Amir Hisham, Al Ahly has officially inquired about the situation of Benjdida, who is not only a key player for Wydad Fassi but also the top scorer in the Moroccan league this season. His exceptional performance has made him a prime candidate for the club's recruitment plans.
Benjdida's current market value stands at approximately €1.3 million, and he joined Wydad Fassi last summer. The club has recently extended his contract until 2030, a strategic move to maximize their financial gain from any potential future transfer. Hisham emphasized that this extension aims to ensure that the club can secure a significant profit if Benjdida is sold in the future.
Transfer Conditions and Future Prospects
Hisham further elaborated on the player's situation, noting that Benjdida has prior experience playing in Belgium and is currently showcasing remarkable talent in the Moroccan league. His potential move to Al Ahly would undoubtedly be a significant gain for the club, given his impressive track record. Importantly, his contract includes a buy-out clause set at $4 million, which presents a challenge for any interested parties. Nevertheless, should Al Ahly decide to pursue his transfer, they are likely to engage in negotiations with a potential offer around $2 million. Benjdida is currently listed among Al Ahly's top three targets for the summer transfer window, with the club planning to finalize their recruitment decisions soon.
