Belamri on the Brink: Al Ahly poised to welcome Raja Casablanca’s left-back

Transfer Update

Youssef Belamri, the left back for Raja Casablanca, is one step away from joining Al Ahly after intensive negotiations that stretched through last week.

An informed source at Al Ahly told KOOORA that the club has agreed with the player on all terms of his personal contract in the presence of his agent.

The source added that Raja Casablanca had pressed hard to renew Belamri s deal and resisted selling him before a renewal to lift the asking price.

The same source explained that Raja initially did not respond to Al Ahly s offer, but eventually did; the only remaining sticking point concerns the future resale percentage, with Al Ahly offering 10% and Raja demanding 20%.

The deal is expected to be sealed in the coming hours or at the start of next week.

Al Ahly are preparing to face Ceramica Cleopatra on Friday, in the second matchday of Group A in the Cairo Capital Cup.

Implications and Next Steps

If completed, Belamri will bring a solid left back option to Al Ahly ahead of key fixtures this season.

For Raja Casablanca, selling Belamri would mark a significant change in the squad planning while hoping for a favorable resale clause to secure future profits.

The resale percentage remains the main hurdle, but talks continue as clubs balance competitive needs with financial realities.

Two quick thoughts to wrap this up: first, patience is a footballer s best friend when negotiating transfers; second, coffee sponsorships are clearly the unofficial contract negotiators in Egypt s football scene.

Punchline time two: if this transfer saga were a sniper, the target would be the fans who are eager for certainty. And yes, the shot might still be in the air, but the suspense is already scoring goals.
