Morocco defender Achraf Dari close to Wydad return from Al-Ahly

Morocco international defender Achraf Dari is close to returning to Wydad Casablanca, with negotiations reportedly progressing over a move from Egyptian giants Al-Ahly.

Dari’s possible return to the Moroccan club comes after several years playing abroad and could see one of Wydad’s former academy graduates return to the club where he began his professional career.

Sources close to Radio Mars say the defender is moving towards ending his relationship with Al-Ahly during the current summer transfer window, opening the way for a return to Morocco.

There is reportedly a shared desire between Dari and Wydad’s management to complete the deal, although some details still need to be resolved before his return can be officially confirmed.

Dari’s Al-Ahly spell nearing end

The Morocco defender has struggled to make the expected impact since joining Al-Ahly, with his future at the Egyptian club now increasingly uncertain.

According to the reports, discussions over his departure are progressing, with Dari keen to begin a new chapter in his career.

His potential exit would bring an end to a spell that has not produced the level of influence expected by either the player or Al-Ahly supporters.

That situation has encouraged Wydad to pursue a reunion with the defender, who remains highly regarded by the Moroccan club.

Wydad move gathers momentum

Negotiations between Dari and Wydad are said to have made significant progress as the two sides work towards an agreement.

The 26-year-old developed through Wydad’s youth system before establishing himself with the senior team and eventually moving abroad to continue his career.

A return would therefore represent a homecoming for a player who made his name wearing the Wydad shirt before embarking on his professional journey outside Morocco.

While the final details of the agreement still have to be settled, the current indications are that the transfer could be completed during the summer window.

Experienced defender could strengthen Wydad

Should the move go through, Wydad would regain a player with considerable experience of domestic and continental football.

Dari has played at the highest level in Africa and gained further experience during his time abroad, while also representing Morocco at international level.

That background could make him an important addition to a Wydad squad seeking to compete strongly in both Moroccan and African competitions next season.

His familiarity with the club would also allow him to adapt quickly to the environment and expectations surrounding the Casablanca side.

Wydad fans await confirmation

Dari’s possible return has generated interest among Wydad supporters, with the move carrying significance beyond its potential impact on the pitch.

The defender is a product of the club’s youth system and previously left a mark during his time with the senior side, making a return particularly meaningful for the Wydad faithful.

If an agreement is reached over his departure from Al-Ahly and his subsequent move to Wydad, Dari will have the opportunity to begin another chapter with the club where his professional career started.

The summer transfer window could therefore see Wydad complete one of its most notable deals with the return of one of its former academy graduates.
