Red Seas, Red Flags: Al Ahly’s Bold Gambit for Rida Slim

Al Ahly Sets Sights on Rida Slim with a Bang

Al Ahly is plotting a bold move for Moroccan forward Rida Slim, who is currently on loan at Royal Army.

Slim joined Al Ahly in 2023 from Royal Army on a four-year contract, but he has yet to break into the first team.

His loan spell with the army side last season did little to change his fortunes at the Cairo club.

A close insider at Al Ahly told Youm El-Sabea that Slim's chances of returning to the Egyptian giants look slim.

Slim's Loan, Form, and Possible Exit

The source added that Slim's performances with Royal Army do not entice Al Ahly to keep him beyond the current deal.

Meanwhile, in the Moroccan Premier League, Kawkab Marrakech is set to host the Royal Army on March 29, 2026 at 17:00.

Al Ahly reportedly plans to either extend Slim's loan or sell him outright in the summer of 2026 to avoid losing him for nothing in 2027.

Slim helped the Royal Army reach the CAF Champions League semifinals, knocking out Pyramids FC.

Al Ahly is weighing options as Slim's long-term future with the club remains uncertain.

Punchline 1: If this move goes through, Al Ahly will finally know what a loan really means—you borrow a player, you return him when the season ends.

Punchline 2: Rida Slim's career is so on loan that even his future requires a renewal form.
