Qatari club makes move to sign Ashraf Bencharki on free transfer from Al Ahly

A Qatari club has reportedly approached the representatives of Al Ahly forward Ashraf Bencharki over a potential free transfer at the end of the current season.

As per reports, the unnamed club had made contact within the past 48 hours to explore the possibility of securing the services of the Moroccan attacker when his contract with the Egyptian giants expires.

The initial approach was made to either Bencharki’s brother or his agent, with the Qatari side expressing interest in signing him without paying a transfer fee.

Despite the reported interest, Bencharki is said to be willing to wait for a decision from Al Ahly’s football management before determining his next move.

The 30-year-old reportedly wants clarity from the club over his future before considering other options, suggesting that his immediate priority remains resolving his situation with the Egyptian champions.

Bencharki stance could give Al Ahly an opportunity to address his contractual situation before the end of the campaign, particularly if the club intends to retain the Moroccan forward.

For now, the reported interest from Qatar adds another dimension to the uncertainty surrounding the attacker’s future, with his next move likely to depend on discussions with Al Ahly’s management.
