January Transfer Window: Al Ahly's Targeted Moves

Pursuing a January reset, Al Ahly's football department has charged Osama Hilal, head of scouting, with marketing Slovenian Gradychar and Moroccan Dari for overseas moves. The goal is to leverage Gradychar's ties to the club and his leverage to entertain offers, loan or permanent, within the window.

Sources close to Al Ahly told Kooora that the focus extends beyond Gradychar. The management also plans to market Dari in January, aiming to land two foreign players to reinforce the attack and the left-back slot.

Al Ahly also faces competition in January; Dari addition is on the table as the club hopes to sign two foreigners to strengthen the attack and the left-back position.

Meanwhile, Al Ahly lost 2-1 to Ghazl El Mahalla in Tuesday's Egypt Cup group stage, prompting coaches to lean on youth for evaluation and future integration.
