1.5 million dollars on the table for Al Ahly to sign a foreign defender, with Achraf Abada becoming one of the options.

Al Ahly officials have set a budget of $1.5 million to strengthen their defense with a standout foreign signing during the upcoming January transfer window. A source within the club revealed that Al Ahly has recently received resumes from several foreign and local defenders to bolster the team's ranks during the winter transfer period.

$1.5 Million for a Foreign Defender

The source confirmed that the club's management has allocated $1.5 million to acquire one of the foreign defenders under consideration, noting that Algerian international Achraf Abada, a player for CR Belouizdad, is among the options being considered for a move to Al Ahly in January. The source clarified that the club has not yet begun negotiations with the Algerian defender, but he is considered one of the available options alongside other candidates for a transfer to the Red Castle in January.

Achraf Abada a Candidate for Al Ahly

The source added that Achraf Abada, 27, is among the players being considered due to his high technical skills. His name has been suggested to Al Ahly in previous periods, and negotiations took place, but they were unsuccessful for various reasons. He has recently been offered to the club again. The source also mentioned that there are defenders from other African countries being considered to strengthen the defense besides Ben Ayada, and the available options are currently being evaluated after the club agreed to finalize a strong foreign signing for the defense in January. Those responsible for the football file at the club are working in full coordination with the coaching staff led by Hussein Amouta to accurately determine the team's needs and select players capable of providing the necessary reinforcement for the defense, especially after Amr Elgazar suffered a torn ACL, as well as the decline in performance of several players in that position.
