Al Ahly weigh move for Moroccan forward Soufiane Benjdida of MAS Fès

Moroccan centre-forward Soufiane Benjdida is being linked with a move from Botola Pro side MAS Fès to Egyptian giants Al Ahly, with the Casablanca-born striker emerging as a potential attacking option for the Cairo club.

The 24-year-old, who wears the No 9 shirt for MAS Fès, is listed with a market value of €1.30m, a figure that could make him an attractive, relatively low-cost target as Al Ahly assess forward options for the new Egyptian Premier League campaign. The reported probability of a deal remains unclear, with the move currently rated “?” and no agreement in place.

Benjdida, a right-footed centre-forward standing at 1.78m, has built his reputation in Morocco’s top flight with MAS Fès in the Botola Pro Inwi. Born on 5 September 2001 in Casablanca, he has developed as a central striker capable of leading the line, and his form at club level has kept him on the radar within Moroccan domestic football.

Details of his current contract at MAS Fès are undisclosed, with no fixed expiry date publicly recorded. That uncertainty has fuelled speculation that he could become available on favourable terms, or even edge towards a free agent situation in the medium term if no renewal is agreed, increasing the appeal for suitors such as Al Ahly.

Recent performances for MAS Fès in the Botola Pro Inwi have underlined his importance to the side, although full statistical breakdowns of goals and assists this season are not publicly detailed in the latest data.

For Al Ahly, acquiring a 24-year-old centre-forward with room to grow and experience in North African top-flight football would fit a longer-term profile, and if the move materialises it could provide Benjdida with a significant platform to elevate his career and reputation on a broader continental stage.
