Al Ahly SC awaiting offers for Aliou Dieng this summer

Egypt’s Al Ahly SC are awaiting official offers regarding a possible contract with Malian midfielder Aliou Dieng, currently on loan at Saudi club Al-Kholood Club.

The Egyptian club has decided to put the player back on the transfer market during the upcoming summer transfer window, given the difficulty of registering him on Al Ahly’s roster for the new season due to the excessive number of foreign players.

Al Ahly SC’s current squad includes a large number of foreign players, including Achraf Bencharki, Achraf Dari, Nejc Gradišar, new signing Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, Yahia Attiat-Allah, Reda Slim, Ali Maaloul and Dieng. This significant number of players prevents the Malian international from returning to Al Ahly’s roster.

The issue of the excessive number of foreign players in Al Ahly’s squad is currently being resolved ahead of the club’s participation in the Club World Cup in the United States.

Several Saudi clubs have also expressed interest in signing Dieng permanently, including Al-Kholood Club, where he currently plays. His impressive form in the Saudi Pro League this season has attracted the attention of several clubs willing to offer a large sum of money to sign the Malian player.
