CS Sfaxien forward Omar Ben Ali is being linked with a switch to Egyptian giants Al Ahly, with the Tunisian’s contractual situation adding intrigue to the developing transfer rumour.
The 21-year-old centre-forward, who wears the number nine shirt for CS Sfaxien, is reported to be on Al Ahly’s radar as they assess attacking options for the upcoming Egyptian Premier League campaigns. Data from Transfermarkt lists the move as a rumour with the probability of any deal currently unclear (“?”), but the absence of publicly available contract expiry details at Sfaxien has fuelled talk that Ben Ali could become a free agent if his deal in Tunisia is close to its end or has already expired.
Born in Hammam-Lif on 22 April 2005, Ben Ali has emerged from Tunisian Ligue 1 as a right-footed striker capable of leading the line through the middle. He is valued at around €450,000, a figure that would represent a relatively low‑risk investment for Al Ahly should a transfer fee be required, while also leaving open the possibility of a bargain if he were to move after a contract expiry.
Ben Ali currently represents CS Sfaxien domestically, and is registered as playing in the Tunisian Ligue 1, with his club also listed as his “national team” side in available data rather than a senior international set-up. Recent statistics and appearances underline that he is still in the early stages of his professional career, with 2025‑26 seen as a key period for his development.
Specific recent match data records him featuring in CS Sfaxien’s campaign in Tunisia’s top flight, though detailed numbers on goals, assists and individual match ratings are not provided in the latest dataset.
If Al Ahly decide to formalise their interest, a move to Cairo would represent a significant step up in profile for Ben Ali and could prove pivotal in shaping his reputation across African football, potentially turning a promising Tunisian prospect into a regular presence on the continental stage.
