Saudi offers threaten the future of Al Ahly star

Achraf Bencharki, a player for Al Ahly FC, is close to embarking on a new experience outside the red fortress, having received two offers from the Saudi Pro League to sign him for the upcoming season, amid stalled negotiations regarding the renewal of his contract, which ends at the end of the current season.

According to reports, the Saudi offers came after the levels the player has shown with Al Ahly FC this season, as they include financial perks that meet his demands, placing the club's management in a challenge to determine the future of one of the team's standout elements.

In contrast, Al-Hussein's coach, Hussein Ammouta, has previously requested that Al Ahly FC's management expedite the clarification of Achraf Bencharki's situation and renew his contract, considering him one of the key players in the team's formation.

The main point of contention between the two parties is the financial compensation, as Al Ahly FC's management has set a salary cap of no more than $1.1 million, while the player is currently earning $1.9 million.

Reports indicate that Achraf Bencharki does not wish to reduce his salary and insists on receiving his full financial demands, refusing to concede any amounts in exchange for continuing with the team.

According to the same source, Al Ahly FC's approval of the financial terms requested by the player will open the door for renewing his contract, while Bencharki will have to consider one of the two Saudi offers if negotiations falter and no agreement is reached with the red administration.
