The Future of Ben Sharqi at Al-Ahly at Stake
All eyes within Al Ahly Club are on the future of their Moroccan player Achraf Bencharki, as the management is considering the possibility of his departure at the end of the 2025-2026 season.
According to press reports, this move comes as a result of the player's recent decline in performance, along with tensions in his relationship with the Danish coach Jess Thorup, which has sparked controversy within the club.
Some voices within Al Ahly believe that Ben Sharqi's continuation until the end of his contract, which extends to the summer of 2027, remains contingent on his ability to regain his usual form in the upcoming matches, at a time when his chances of being a main participant have diminished.
In an attempt to clarify his position, the player requested a meeting with the coach in the coming hours to discuss the possibility of being relied upon as a left winger, emphasizing the difficulty he faces adapting to the right side.
For his part, the football director Walid Salah El-Din considered imposing a financial penalty on the player after he left the field angrily in the last match against ZFC, a scene that caught attention and sparked reactions within the club.
