Cairo-based Al Ahly is preparing for a busy winter transfer window as they navigate a tight schedule that includes both domestic league play and continental competition [[1]]. Head coach Yess Torop has reportedly identified key areas for enhancement as the club aims to maintain its dominance in Egyptian football and prepare for the expanded 32-team Club World Cup in 2025 [[1]]. Sources indicate the club is actively working to bring in reinforcements while also strategically trimming the roster to optimize team performance [[3]].
Al Ahly, one of Egypt’s most prominent football clubs, is poised to bolster its squad during the winter transfer window, with head coach Yess Torop giving the green light to pursue two key players, according to a club source.
The Cairo-based club is targeting Osama Faisal, a forward currently with Bank Al Ahly, and defender Amr El Gazzar, as they look to strengthen their ranks ahead of upcoming competitions. Al Ahly is actively seeking to address needs in both attack and defense as the season progresses.
Club management has reportedly consulted with Torop regarding potential negotiations with Bank Al Ahly for both Faisal and El Gazzar. The technical committee has identified a need for reinforcements in the back line and up front, prompting the club to move quickly on these targets.
To create space for potential acquisitions, Al Ahly is also exploring options to move on from some current players. Moroccan defender Ashraf Dari is being considered for a transfer during the winter window, potentially freeing up a spot for a foreign player.
Similarly, the club is seeking a transfer opportunity for Slovenian forward Gradisar, hoping to find a new club for the player during the upcoming transfer period. These moves suggest Al Ahly is prepared to reshape its roster to compete at the highest level.
