Al Ahly has intensified its efforts during the summer transfer window, prioritizing the signing of a new defensive midfielder as it prepares for the upcoming season.
According to Spanish newspaper "Sport," Rui Pedro, the sporting director of Al Ahly, is placing significant emphasis on strengthening the defensive midfield, after identifying the team's technical needs.
Spanish player Marc Casado, currently with Barcelona, tops the list of names linked with a move to Al-Raqi, thanks to his abilities in ball interception and playmaking.
The player excels in defensive duties and midfield organization, aligning with Al Ahly's requirements.
Al Ahly has a preliminary advantage in the race to sign Casado, benefiting from the relationship between Rui Pedro and the player's agent, Portuguese Jorge Mendes.
Despite this, the deal appears complicated due to interest from several European clubs in the player, who is highly regarded for his talent and youth.
Al Ahly's management continues its efforts to secure strong signings during the summer transfer window, leveraging its network of relationships to build a team that can compete for domestic and continental titles.
