African powerhouse Al Ahly SC are in advanced negotiations to sign Moroccan defender Achraf Dari from French club Stade Brest, AfricaSoccer.com understands
According to Dari’s agent, Abdel Latif Fleifli, the talks have progressed well, though certain conditions must be met for the deal to materialize.
Brest, which acquired Dari from Wydad AC in 2022 for around 3.5 million Euros, is open to selling the player but is holding firm on specific conditions due to the player’s high value.
Dari, a 25-year-old international, has had a notable career, including participation in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he scored in the third-place match against Croatia.
He also faced Al Ahly in the 2022 CAF Champions League final while playing for Wydad, contributing to his team’s triumph.
Al Ahly’s interest in Dari underscores their ambition to strengthen their squad with proven talent, as they look to meet the conditions set by Brest to secure the deal.
Al Ahly have agreed to transfer defender Mohamed Abdelmonem to French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice. Dari will be a perfect replacement for the departing stalwart.
The potential transfer highlights the growing trend of African players making significant moves in European football and returning to African clubs with valuable experience.
