Youcef Belaili could leave Arabian side Al Ahli to Egyptian Premier League side Al Ahly after declarations of his father over his future.
A season after arriving at Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, the Algerian midfielder is expected to leave. In total disagreement with his leaders , the African champion is about to try a new challenge at 28 years old. And this next destination would be none other than the Cairo National. A track confirmed by Hafid Belaili, father and agent of the player.
“ Official talks have taken place with Al-Ahly through the club’s transfer manager, Amir Tawfik. The player still has a contract with Al-Ahli (until June 2022, note) and we respect our agreement with the Saudi side. Al-Ahly are a great club and it would be an honor for Youcef to play for them, but the transfer is tied to the acceptance of Al-Ahli. Because they rejected the idea of loaning it, ”he said in remarks relayed by Kingfut .
But to sign to Al Ahly of Egypt, the leaders of Al Ahli must give their consent. This is what is delaying the finalization of this operation.
“ Things will be decided soon. We are waiting for Al-Ahli’s decision to keep Youcef Belaïli or sell him to Al-Ahly. Esperance Tunis (where Belaïli played between 2012 and 2014, then in 2018-2019) and other Egyptian clubs (Pyramids FC and Zamalek) have negotiated with us but Al-Ahly is the most serious team ”, he concluded.
Under contract until 2022 with the Saudi club, Youcef Belaili will have to change tune this summer.
