Mohamed Sherif sets sights on Al Ahly legacy after return

Mohamed Sherif is back at Al Ahly and ready to make history.

The Egyptian forward officially rejoined the club on Wednesday, signing a five-year deal that marks the start of his second chapter with the Cairo giants.

Having left Saudi side Al-Khaleej, Sherif made it clear that his heart was always set on returning.

Sherif said in a television interview that he was confident of returning to Al Ahly, which prompted him to reject numerous offers after his contract with Saudi club Al-Khaleej expired.

He added that he will “be up to the challenge in Al Ahly’s attack,” vowing to play with all his might to secure a place in Spanish coach Jose Riveiro’s squad.

He explained that he is looking forward to becoming Al Ahly’s all-time top scorer and is striving to achieve more titles, noting that the team’s fans will accept nothing less.

Sherif had a strong first spell with Al Ahly from 2018 to 2023, scoring 58 goals in 151 appearances across all competitions, including a loan stint at Enppi.
