Where Will Ali Maaloul Go Next?
Uncertainty Surrounds Ali Maaloul's Next Move After Leaving Al Ahly The future of Tunisian football star Ali Maaloul remains unclear, more than a month after he officially departed Al Ahly, ending a highly successful nine-year spell with the Egyptian giants. The former left-back has yet to announce his next destination, leaving fans and clubs in suspense. Offers From Gulf Clubs Reports have suggested that several clubs from Saudi Arabia and Qatar are interested in signing Maaloul. However, no official agreements have been announced so far. Sources close to the player confirm that he has received multiple offers, but he has not made a final decision regarding his future. Possible Return to Tunisia A potential return to his boyhood club, CS Sfaxien, is also under consideration. According to insiders, the club and its fans are eager to see Maaloul back. However, financial differences remain a major obstacle, given the significant gap between his previous salary at Al Ahly and what he could earn in the Tunisian league. No Move to Another Egyptian Club Maaloul has ruled out any possibility of joining another Egyptian club. He has reportedly refused offers from Egypt out of respect for Al Ahly and its fans, stating that the Red Devils' jersey is the only one he would wear in Egyptian football. Ali Maaloul's Legendary Legacy at Al Ahly During his nine seasons with Al Ahly, Ali Maaloul cemented his status as one of the most influential foreign players in the club's history. He made over 250 appearances, contributing with goals and assists while helping the team win an impressive 22 trophies—including the CAF Champions League, Egyptian Premier League, and Egypt Cup. He also represented Al Ahly in several FIFA Club World Cup tournaments. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Ahly's Palestinian striker Abou Ali draws Gulf interest after Club World Cup heroics - Egyptian Football
Egyptian giants Ahly have reportedly received lucrative offers from Gulf clubs for Palestinian striker Wessam Abou Ali following his standout performances at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The 26-year-old forward scored three goals during the tournament, catching the eye despite Ahly's early exit in the group stage. Upon the team's return to Cairo, Ahly were reportedly approached by Qatari side Al-Rayyan, UAE club Al-Wasl, and Major League Soccer outfit New York Red Bulls, all of which expressed interest in signing the prolific striker. According to local media, Al-Rayyan have submitted a $8 million bid, while Al-Wasl offered $7 million. However, sources close to the club suggest Ahly have set a $10 million price tag for their star striker. Ahly sporting director Mohamed Youssef insisted last week that Abou Ali is not for sale, stating: 'The team needs his contributions in the coming period.' However, with interest growing and substantial offers on the table, the club's stance could be put to the test. Since joining Ahly in January 2024, Abou Ali has quickly established himself as a vital figure in the squad. He netted 18 goals in 19 appearances to win the Egyptian Premier League Golden Boot in his debut season. Despite injuries hampering his most recent campaign, he managed 10 goals in 16 league matches, finishing just behind teammate Emam Ashour in the scoring charts. Abou Ali's most memorable moment came in Ahly's final Club World Cup match, where he scored a perfect hat-trick in a thrilling 4-4 draw against FC Porto.
