Achraf Bencharki is set to return to Egyptian football, with the Moroccan winger agreeing to join Al Ahly SC after parting ways with Qatari club Al Rayyan.
The former Zamalek player will make the move to one of Egypt’s most prominent clubs, furthering his successful career in the region.
Bencharki’s departure from Al Rayyan follows an agreement to terminate his contract with the Qatari side.
With his deal set to expire in June, the 29-year-old was no longer in Al Rayyan’s plans, making his exit inevitable.
Despite this, Bencharki will not be left without a club for long, as he has already lined up his next move.
According to multiple sources, the Moroccan international is expected to sign with Al Ahly, one of the biggest footballing institutions in Egypt.
The move to the Red Devils comes as part of their ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad, with Bencharki’s skill and experience likely to add valuable depth to their attacking options.
While Al Ahly appears to be Bencharki’s preferred destination, they are not the only club interested in securing his services.
Zamalek SC, his former team in Egypt, is also reported to be considering a move to bring the winger back to their ranks.
However, it seems that Bencharki’s sights are firmly set on a return to the Red Devils, leaving Zamalek trailing in their pursuit.
Bencharki’s move to Al Ahly would see him continue his career in Egypt, where he previously enjoyed success with Zamalek, before moving to Qatar.
His return to Egyptian football will surely excite fans, with the winger’s flair and technical ability poised to make an impact on the league’s top-tier competition once again.
