Al Ahly deny making formal offer for Maghreb de Fes midfielder Osama Nour El Din

Al Ahly have denied sending a formal offer to sign Maghreb de Fes midfielder Osama Nour El Din, despite the Moroccan club’s president saying negotiations had taken place.

An Al Ahly source told FilGoal.com: “We have not sent any offers to sign Osama Nour El Din, the Maghreb de Fes player. The player was offered to us, but we have not made any decision about him.”

The 25-year-old’s future was discussed by Omar Benis, president of Maghreb de Fes, who described Nour El Din as one of the best players in the Moroccan league.

“Osama Nour El Din is one of the best players in the Moroccan league and he will join the Morocco national team,” Benis told Hesport.

Benis also said the club had received no formal offer apart from one from Al Ahly, which he had rejected.

“We did not receive any official offers for him except from Egyptian club Al Ahly, and I was clear and rejected the offer,” he said.

The Maghreb de Fes president added that Nour El Din would remain with the club until the end of the season, regardless of the amount involved.

“Osama Nour El Din will be a Maghreb de Fes player until the end of the season, whatever the financial offer. There is no intention to sell him in January,” Benis said.

Nour El Din’s contract with Maghreb de Fes runs until the summer of 2030.

He began his career with Moroccan club Chabab Mohammedia before playing in the United Arab Emirates with Khorfakkan. He later returned to the Moroccan league.

Nour El Din rejoined Maghreb de Fes in the summer of 2025 and helped the club win last season’s Moroccan league title.

Al Ahly signed Sufian Benjeddida from Maghreb de Fes at the start of the current season.
