Al Ahly offered Colombian-based defender Cesar Haidar ahead of January transfer window

Al Ahly have continued their search for defensive reinforcements ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window, with the club considering several options to strengthen the backline.

The Egyptian giants are looking to increase their defensive options amid a growing injury situation, with the technical staff keen to ensure they have enough depth to cope with the demands of the second half of the season.

A number of defenders have reportedly been presented to Al Ahly officials in recent weeks as the club assesses potential targets before deciding which players to pursue through formal negotiations when the January transfer window opens.

The need for defensive reinforcements has been heightened by injuries to several players in the position, including Amr El Gazzar, who is suffering from a torn cruciate ligament, and Yasser Ibrahim, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury.

Cesar Haidar offered to Al Ahly

As per reports, the Colombian-based defender Cesar Haidar has been offered to Al Ahly as a potential option for the centre-back position.

Haidar currently plays in the Colombian league for Atletico Nacional and holds Palestinian citizenship.

The defender has emerged as one of the names placed before the Al Ahly hierarchy as the club continues to explore possible defensive additions ahead of January.

However, there has been no confirmation regarding Al Ahly’s stance on Haidar or whether the club has opened official negotiations with the player or Atletico Nacional.

Haidar is among the defenders whose names have been presented to the Egyptian champions during the current period.

Al Ahly are expected to assess several candidates before deciding on their preferred targets, with the club’s technical staff looking to strengthen the defence and provide greater depth for the remainder of the campaign.

Any move for Haidar would therefore depend on the outcome of the club’s evaluation of the available options and the technical requirements identified ahead of the winter transfer window.
