Al Ahly of Egypt wants to keep Ben Sharqi.

Egyptian media reports have revealed a decisive decision made by the management of Al Ahly Club regarding the future of Moroccan international Achraf Bencharki. The officials within the "Red Castle" have decided to keep the Moroccan star in the ranks of the "Red Giant" for the new football season, closing the door completely on any professional offers that may come his way during the summer transfer period.

This shift in the position of the "Al Ahly management," according to the same source, comes after the strong resurgence shown by Bencharki in the final stages of the Egyptian league, his success in scoring crucial goals, and his remarkable performance in key matches, especially against Zamalek. This led the management to reconsider the idea of his departure, which had been strongly considered due to his fluctuating performance in earlier periods of the season.

The Egyptian website "Youm7" reported, citing an official within Al Ahly Club, that the management is now convinced that Bencharki's drop in performance was not primarily technical, but rather related to the way he was utilized by Danish coach Jess Thorup, who played him in positions that did not suit his capabilities or kept him confined to the bench in crucial matches, limiting the impact of his individual skills and offensive solutions that could benefit the team.

Despite news linking Bencharki's name to attractive Gulf offers, specifically from the Qatari league, Al Ahly officials confirmed to the Egyptian website that they have not received any official offer so far, emphasizing that the player is under contract until the summer of 2027, and that the intention is to leverage his football maturity in the upcoming season under the guidance of the coaching staff, which will be tasked with extracting the best from the Moroccan talent to ensure competition on all local and continental fronts.
