Achraf Dari: Moroccan centre-back linked with Al‑Shamal move from Al Ahly amid contract uncertainty

Moroccan centre-back Achraf Dari, currently on the books at Egyptian Premier League side Al Ahly, is being linked with a switch to Qatar Stars League outfit Al‑Shamal SC, with his contractual situation opening up the prospect of a potential free‑agent departure.

Transfermarkt data as of 19 June 2026 lists the 27-year-old’s market value at €1.20m, and notes a rumoured move from Al Ahly to Al‑Shamal, though the probability of the transfer is recorded only as “?”, underlining how early-stage the speculation remains. With no contract expiry date publicly registered for his spell in Cairo, there is growing talk that Dari could either run down his deal or negotiate an exit that would see him move at low cost, or even as a free agent, if terms are not renewed.

Born in Casablanca on 6 May 1999, the 1.88m right-footed defender is recognised primarily as a centre-back. He is capped at senior level for Morocco and has built a reputation as a physically dominant presence at the heart of defence. His current shirt number is 20.

While detailed season-by-season statistics are not given in the latest data, Dari’s recent performances have helped maintain his valuation around the €1.20m mark, a figure that would make him an accessible option for Al‑Shamal as they look to reinforce their back line in the Qatar Stars League. No official bid or agreement between the clubs is reported, and there is no indication yet of personal terms or contract length in Doha.

The lack of clarity over his existing deal at Al Ahly and the open-ended probability rating suggest this story may develop over the coming weeks. If a move to Al‑Shamal materialises, it could offer Dari a new platform in the Gulf to reassert his defensive pedigree and potentially elevate both his market value and regional profile.
