In a late move that caught attention, Al Ahly completed the loan of goalkeeper Mostafa Makhlouf to newly promoted Modern Sport just before the Egyptian Premier League’s transfer window closed on Wednesday evening.
The 22-year-old, who joined Al Ahly from Tersana in 2022, will now face his parent club in the league’s opening fixture next Saturday. A source from Al Ahly confirmed that the deal was sealed minutes before the deadline, allowing Modern Sport to reinforce their squad with a promising shot-stopper.
Meanwhile, Al Ahly remains undecided on the future of Ahmed Abdelkader. The source stressed the club has no plans to let him join any Egyptian side after the window, though a move abroad could still be considered if the right offer comes.
In other deadline-day movements, Moroccan winger Reda Selim was loaned to the Royal Army, and Mostafa El-Badry parted ways with the club, sealing a permanent transfer to Petrojet.
The closing hours of the window proved busy for Al Ahly, who continue to manage their squad ahead of a demanding season.
