Uncertainty surrounds Dari's future with Al Ahly

Moroccan defender Ashraf Dari's situation at Egyptian club Al Ahly is shrouded in mystery as his return to the team's training camp in Spain remains unconfirmed. The club's management had initially decided to keep Dari for the new season, reversing a previous intention to let him go during the summer transfer window due to unresolved financial settlement issues for a mutual contract termination.

Al Ahly officials are reportedly working on obtaining a travel visa for the Moroccan player, a necessary step for him to join the team in Spain. However, the exact date of his travel and subsequent arrival at the training camp has not yet been finalized. Dari was absent from the Al Ahly squad that departed for Spain on August 6.

The club's decision to retain Dari, at least until the winter transfer window, comes as the technical staff, led by coach Hussein Ammouta, aims to prepare the player physically and technically. They intend to utilize his skills in the new season, especially given the competition for the center-back position against players like Yassin Merai, Hadi Riyad, Amr El Gazar, and Yasser Ibrahim. The situation is expected to become clearer in the coming hours, with Al Ahly hoping to have Dari back to full fitness to contribute to upcoming matches.
