Marcel Koller set to decide on Al Ahly’s pursuit of young Farco defender
Marcel Koller, the head coach of Al Ahly, is on the verge of making a definitive decision regarding negotiations with Farco Club concerning the potential acquisition of Saif Imam, a promising defender.
This move is seen as a strategic effort to strengthen the ranks of the Red Devils during the current transfer window.
The Al Ahly scouting committee presented Saif Imam to the football committee, which expressed admiration for the young player.
The matter has now been referred to Marcel Koller, who will decide whether to proceed with signing the Farco defender or opt against the transfer.
A source within Al Ahly revealed that the scouting committee, known as “Scouting,” has recommended Saif Imam, a young defender born in 2004.
The player’s profile was presented to the planning committee and the coaching staff under Marcel Koller’s leadership, aiming to reinforce the central defense position during the ongoing winter transfer window.
Saif Imam, born in 2004, stands at a height of 188 cm and weighs 76 kg.
He is adept at building up play from the back and is likened to Mohamed Abdel-Moneim, a defender for Al Ahly.
The young Farco defender has previously played for several clubs before joining Al Ahly’s ranks.
He spent five seasons at Enppi and then moved to Wadi Degla for three seasons before joining Farco two seasons ago.
Marcel Koller is actively exploring the prospect of signing a defender during the current winter transfer window.
While the central defense position is targeted for reinforcement, it is not the top priority in the January signings, with emphasis placed on securing a striker and wingers for the Red Castels.
