Tarek El Ashry, the head coach of Al Ittihad Alexandria, has identified four positions to reinforce the team during the ongoing winter transfer window, aiming to address the gaps in the squad and maintain a strong competitive presence in the tournaments.
Al Ittihad currently holds the third position with 18 points and has secured a spot in the quarter-finals of the League Cup before the last round of the group stage.
El Ashry has requested the acquisition of a striker, a playmaker, and full-backs, one for the right flank and the other for the left.
The club’s transfer management is actively working to fulfill the coach’s requirements and finalize the deals before the closure of the registration window.
The transfer committee at Al Ittihad Alexandria is facing challenges in securing suitable players due to the absence of readily available talents in the winter transfer market.
Club officials at Al Ittihad Alexandria received reassurance from the Football Association that the registration window for winter transfers will remain open until February 22.
This extension provides the transfer committee with ample time to secure significant deals and meet the requirements outlined by the head coach.
With the extended window, Al Ittihad Alexandria is optimistic about making substantial additions to the squad, ensuring that the team is well-equipped for the upcoming challenges.
The management aims to capitalize on the extra time available to make strategic signings and strengthen the team’s overall competitiveness in both domestic and cup competitions.
