Egyptian football powerhouse Al Ahly is making significant progress in its pursuit of central defender Mohamed Abdelmonem.
The club is eager to bolster its defensive line during the January transfer window and sees Abdelmonem as a key addition for the second half of the season.
Currently contracted to French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice, Abdelmonem, 25, has struggled to find his footing since joining the club last summer.
Limited to just nine appearances this season, the Egyptian international appears open to the prospect of returning to Al Ahly, where he previously played.
According to sources, Al Ahly’s management has initiated discussions with both Nice and Abdelmonem, expressing a strong desire to bring the defender back on loan.
Reports suggest that Abdelmonem has responded positively to the proposal, showing enthusiasm for a potential return to his former club.
The move could benefit all parties involved. For Nice, a temporary departure would provide Abdelmonem with more game time, while Al Ahly would gain a reliable defensive asset as they aim to strengthen their squad for domestic and continental competitions.
