Al Ahly informs Al-Hazem: Aliou Dieng is not for sale

Al-Ahly club sent a letter to Saudi club Al-Hazem today, confirming that Malian player Aliou Dieng is not for sale and that there is no intention of letting him leave. This follows Al-Hazem’s request to buy Aliou Dieng during the current transfer window.

Egypt’s Al Ahly SC is keen to retain the Malian midfielder for next season. Dieng was loaned to Saudi club Al-Kholood (Saudi Arabia) last season before returning to Al Ahly ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States. Al Ahly has rejected the idea of the player’s departure, either on loan or outright sale, given the offers being received, particularly from the Gulf leagues.

Dieng joined Al Ahly in the summer of 2019, before being loaned to Al-Kholood in the summer of 2024. With Al Ahly, the Malian international has won three league titles, three Egyptian Cups, four Egyptian Super Cups, four CAF Champions League titles, and two CAF Super Cups.
