Fassi Club's Stance on Benjida's Transfer
The management of Morocco's Fassi Club has made a significant decision regarding the potential transfer of their star striker, Sofiane Benjida, as the summer transfer window approaches. The Egyptian football club Al Ahly has expressed keen interest in acquiring Benjida, who has been performing remarkably well this season. Al Ahly initially inquired about the possibility of signing Benjida several weeks ago, specifically before the conclusion of the winter transfer window. However, they were taken aback by Fassi's financial demands, which amounted to an impressive $2.5 million for the talented forward. This hefty price tag ultimately led to Al Ahly shelving their interest in securing the player's services.
Benjida's Future Prospects
According to reports, Benjida is not particularly inclined to consider a move to Al Ahly or any other Egyptian league team at this stage. Instead, he prioritizes a return to Europe or a potential transfer to the Saudi league during the upcoming summer transfer market. Benjida's performance this season speaks for itself, having netted 14 goals in just 16 matches in the national professional league, making him the top scorer of the competition. Currently, he is under contract with Fassi until the summer of 2028, and his market value is estimated at approximately €1.3 million, as reported by the global sports market platform, Transfermarkt.
