Morocco centre-back Achraf Dari, currently on the books of Egyptian giants Al Ahly, is being linked with a move to Qatari side Al‑Shamal SC as speculation grows over his future and contract situation.
The 27-year-old defender, valued at €1.20m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of a fresh rumour logged on 19 June 2026, with the proposed move taking him from the Egyptian Premier League to the Qatar Stars League. The probability of the transfer is currently listed as “?”, underlining that talks are at an early and uncertain stage.
Details over Dari’s contractual status at Al Ahly are unclear, with no expiry date recorded, prompting suggestions he could soon be entering the final phase of his deal or potentially assessing his options as a future free agent. A switch to Al‑Shamal would add another chapter to a career that has already taken him from Morocco to North Africa’s most successful club.
Born in Casablanca on 6 May 1999, the 1.88m right-footed centre-back is known as a physically imposing presence at the heart of defence. He is listed primarily as a defender – centre-back – and holds Moroccan nationality, having emerged from his homeland before stepping into higher-profile regional leagues.
Dari’s most recent campaign has seen him continue to build experience at club level, with his market value holding at €1.20m despite the constant churn of players on the continental scene. While specific contractual figures and salary terms have not been disclosed, Al‑Shamal’s interest reflects an ongoing trend of Qatar Stars League clubs targeting defenders with experience in competitive North African environments.
With the rumour still at a speculative stage and no fee or agreement confirmed, Dari’s next move remains open – but a transfer to Qatar could offer the Moroccan a new platform to reassert his value and shape the next phase of his career in the Gulf.
