Latest developments in Al Ahly FC's defensive reinforcement file

Hani Hathout has revealed the latest developments regarding Al Ahly FC's defensive reinforcements for the upcoming winter transfer window, clarifying the club's position on several names being considered for joining the team.

Hathtout confirmed via Modern Sports Channel that the management of Al Ahly FC has excluded three names from the list of defenders considered for joining the team in the upcoming period: Mostafa Ibrahim, Mohamed Hassine, and Mahmoud El Gazar. This means the trio is completely out of the plans of the Red Castle to strengthen the defense, despite their names being circulated earlier.

It was clarified that the technical vision within Al Ahly FC sees that the level being presented by Yasser Ibrahim, Hady Reyad, Yassin Marei, and Achraf Dari at this stage matches or exceeds what the three players could offer, which reduces the usefulness of signing any of them during the upcoming winter transfer window.

It was pointed out that the Algerian Achref Abada, defender for USM Alger, is still on the transfer table of Al Ahly FC, making the player a strong and serious candidate to bolster the Red Giants' defense in the upcoming period.
