Al Ahly submit official offer for Guinean striker Mohamed Salifou Bangoura

Al Ahly have intensified their activities in the summer transfer market after reportedly submitting an official offer to sign Guinean striker Mohamed Salifou Bangoura from MC Alger ahead of the new season.

The Egyptian giants are keen to strengthen their attacking department as preparations continue for another demanding campaign both domestically and on the continental stage.

Having struggled last season, the record Champions League holders are said to be keen on reinforcing the frontline in the current window.

Al Ahly have already opened formal discussions with MC Alger and presented an official proposal for the Guinean forward, who has emerged as one of the club’s main attacking targets in recent weeks.

The Cairo-based side are now waiting for a final response from the Algerian champions after negotiations between both clubs focused on the financial details of the transfer and the conditions required to complete the move.

Bangoura has attracted significant attention following a series of impressive performances with MC Alger, where he established himself as one of the promising attacking talents in the Algerian league. His displays reportedly convinced Al Ahly’s recruitment department that he possesses the qualities needed to strengthen the club’s offensive options.

The Red Devils are believed to value the striker’s physical presence, movement inside the penalty area and ability to trouble defenders in one-on-one situations. Club officials also see the Guinean forward as a long-term investment because of his age and potential for further development.

Al Ahly’s technical team reportedly views Bangoura as a player capable of fitting into the club’s aggressive attacking style while also adding more depth to the squad ahead of a packed football calendar.

The move also reflects Al Ahly’s continued strategy of targeting emerging African talents capable of making an immediate impact while maintaining long-term value for the club.

Although negotiations are still ongoing, there is growing optimism within Al Ahly that an agreement can eventually be reached if discussions with MC Alger progress positively in the coming days.

The Egyptian Premier League champions remain determined to complete key reinforcements before the start of pre-season as they aim to build a squad capable of competing strongly in both local and continental competitions next term.
