Al Ahly considers summer exit for Moroccan star Achraf Bencharki

Al Ahly are reportedly contemplating a surprising decision regarding the future of Moroccan forward Achraf Bencharki, with the possibility of his departure during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Egyptian media outlet Al-Watan Sport cited sports presenter Khaled Al-Ghandour, who revealed on his program, Stadium of the Axis, that Al Ahly’s management is seriously considering a move to reduce the number of foreign players in the squad.

This plan is part of a broader strategy to create room for new international signings, allowing the technical staff to reinforce the team according to their tactical and strategic needs for the next season.

Bencharki has been a key figure for the Egyptian giants this season, featuring in 31 matches across all competitions, scoring three goals and providing seven assists. Despite these contributions, the club appears focused on a squad overhaul to balance experience, talent, and squad registration limits, particularly regarding foreign players.

The potential exit of Bencharki comes amid growing speculation about Al Ahly’s transfer plans, with the club reportedly scouting talent both locally and internationally.

Fans are divided over the move, as Bencharki has become a recognisable figure for the team, yet management is emphasising long-term competitiveness and flexibility in the roster.

If the departure goes through, it would mark a significant reshaping of Al Ahly’s attacking options and could open the door for fresh faces expected to arrive during the summer window.

Bencharki’s future remains uncertain, but the Moroccan star will undoubtedly attract attention from other clubs across the region, given his proven performance in the Egyptian Premier League.
