In a strategic move driven by the regulations governing professional football leagues, Laveina Club officially declared the transfer of their Mauritanian striker, Ahmed Salem, to Ghazl El Mahalla.
The decision, as elucidated by the club, stems from the constraint imposed by the football federation’s rule limiting the participation of foreign players in the professional league to three per team.
With three foreign players already on Laveina’s roster, the club’s management, led by Mahmoud Al Asyouti, consented to the sale of Ahmed Salem.
The choice was made to capitalize on the potential of Nigerian player Adida Mula, aligning with the committee’s vision and the approval of the coaching staff, as per the club’s official statement.
Ahmed Salem, during his tenure in the professional league, showcased his prowess by scoring five goals.
His previous engagements include stints with Al-I’lamayeen, Haras El Hodoud, and Shabab Tamya.
Laveina Club currently holds the sixth position in the league with 23 points, while Ghazl El Mahalla secures the fourth position with 24 points.
In a parallel development, Ghazl El Mahalla, under the leadership of Walid Khalil, successfully secured the services of Ahmed Salem for a three-and-a-half-year term during the ongoing winter transfer window.
The Mauritanian striker, with five goals to his credit in the league, emerged as a standout player in recent times.
Laveina’s concurrence to the sale, given the constraints on foreign player participation, reflects the strategic decisions clubs must make to optimize their rosters and adhere to regulatory guidelines.
Meanwhile, Ghazl El Mahalla, in preparation for upcoming league competitions, triumphed over Sidi Salem with a convincing 5-1 scoreline in a friendly match held earlier today.
