A Potential Return to Cairo

In a development that has sent ripples through the Egyptian football landscape, the "Al-Ahram" portal revealed on April 19, 2026, that Mostafa Mohamed is once again a primary target for Al Ahly. The Nantes forward, who has established himself in France’s Ligue 1 since 2022, is being viewed as the ideal solution to the technical "scoring crisis" currently plaguing the Cairo giants. While Mohamed has previously played for Al Ahly’s arch-rivals Zamalek, the Red Devils' management is reportedly willing to pursue the deal if the player expresses a desire to return to the Egyptian league this summer.

The Strategy: Three New Attackers

Al Ahly’s technical committee, under the direction of the coaching staff, has identified a need for three major signings in the offensive department. The proposed plan includes:

One High-Profile Egyptian Striker: Mostafa Mohamed is the preferred candidate for this role due to his physicality and international experience.

Two Foreign Professionals: The club is scouting talent in the sub-Saharan and North African markets to fill these slots, aiming to add diversity to their attacking patterns.
