Al Ahly Sets Sights on Paradou’s Rising Star: A New Winter Strategy for the Reds
10 January 2026
Al Ahly’s winter strategy
Awad Al-Fakhouri and Mustafa Qabil are on Al Ahly’s radar.
Egyptian giants Al Ahly are seeking to strengthen their squad with a young forward in this winter window.
Candidates in the frame
Danish coach Jes Torup wants a forward under 23, while board member Saeed Abdel Hafiz pushes for a skilled right winger.
Paradou’s Mohamed Amin Ramdawy is among the leading candidates, though his club reportedly seeks about $2 million to seal the deal.
Another close option is Zesco United’s Zambian winger Pascal Feri, who has drawn interest from Al Ahly but the move isn't final.
Abdel Hafeez is weighing between the Zambian and Jordanian Awad Al-Fakhouri, plus Iraqi Mustafa Qabil from Erbil, with pace likely tipping the scales.
Talks continue with players and agents as Al Ahly balances price, profile, and potential impact.
If speed were cash, the Red Castle would already be a billionaire, and their scouts would need a sprint coach. Either way, expect updates as this winter saga unfolds.
Punchline 1: If speed paid wages, Al Ahly would own the league.
Punchline 2: And if suspense had a theme song, the press room would be dancing.
