Al-Ahli moves to sign Senegalese Alpha Touré

Al-Ahli are moving to sign Senegalese midfielder Alpha Touré from FC Metz during the current transfer window, in a new deal the club is looking to finalize before the transfer market closes.

Reliable Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri has revealed on his X account that negotiations are underway between Al-Ahli and FC Metz for a permanent transfer agreement for the player.

Tafouleri has confirmed that negotiations between the parties are ongoing, with the defensive midfielder showing openness to a new experience with Al-Ahli.

Al-Ahli's interest in Alpha Touré comes as the Saudi club seeks to bolster their midfield, especially given the Senegalese player's ability to play in the defensive midfield position.

Toure impressed with FC Metz last season in Ligue 1, making 30 appearances for the team, earning a consistent presence in the coaching staff's plans.

The Senegalese player has entered FC Metz's starting lineup in 16 matches, contributing offensively with one assist for his teammates, despite the defensive nature of his position.

Al-Ahli are awaiting the outcome of negotiations with FC Metz in the coming period, as they seek to finalize the deal and strengthen the team's options in midfield before the transfer window closes.
