Libyan champions Al-Swehly have opened negotiations to sign Zambian international Lameck Banda as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming CAF Champions League campaign.
The reigning Libyan title holders are keen to make a strong impression on the continental stage and have identified the Lecce winger as a key target. Talks are currently underway over a potential deal, with Al-Swehly pushing to secure Banda’s services in what would be a significant statement signing.
Banda, known for his pace, direct attacking style, and versatility across the front line, has built a solid reputation in European football with Italian side Lecce. His experience at a high level, combined with his international pedigree with Zambia, makes him an attractive option for a club aiming to compete against Africa’s elite.
Information indicate that discussions are still at an early stage, with key details yet to be finalized. However, Al-Swehly’s ambition to bolster their squad ahead of continental competition is clear, and the pursuit of Banda highlights their intent to add quality and depth in wide attacking areas.
For Al-Swehly, participation in the CAF Champions League represents both an opportunity and a challenge, as they seek to translate domestic dominance into success on the African stage. The potential arrival of Banda would not only enhance their attacking options but also bring valuable experience to a squad preparing for a demanding campaign.
While no agreement has been reached, developments in the coming days are expected to shape the direction of the deal, with both parties weighing the prospects of a move that could see Banda take on a new challenge in North African football.
