Al Ahly in talks with Zamalek’s midfielder Ferjani Sassi

Tunisian news reports suggested that Egypt’s Al Ahly are looking to sign Zamalek midfielder and Tunisia international Ferjani Sassi.

Since joining Zamalek from Saudi side Al Nasr back in 2018, Sassi became an instant fan favorite mainly due to his magical touch within the White Giant’s midfield.

During his two years in the White Castle, the 28-year-old has won his fair share of championships including the CAF Confederation Cup, CAF Super Cup, the Egypt Cup and the Egyptian Super Cup.

Now according to Tunisian news website, Gnet, Sassi has been approached by Al Ahly to see if there’s a possibility for him to switch sides.

The midfielder, who’s contract is set to end in June 2021, is going to give Zamalek the priority if they wish to extend his contract, as revealed by the Tunisian national team’s mental trainer, Ichraf Kanfoud.

Additionally, in a separate news article, Gnet also suggested that Saudi Giants Al Hilal are interested in purchasing Sassi in the current transfer window.

The 16-time Saudi champions are willing to sign him as soon as possible but Zamalek president, Mortada Mansour, has put a $17 million price tag on the Tunisia international due to his importance to the team.
