Mohamed Magdy Afsha’s future at Al Ahly remains uncertain after the midfielder returned from a six-month loan spell with Al Ittihad Alexandria, with club officials still deliberating over whether he will be part of their plans for the new season.
The past few days have reportedly seen a series of meetings and discussions within the club as Al Ahly’s hierarchy assesses the next step for the experienced playmaker. Club officials are considering several options, including keeping him in the squad, sending him out on loan once again, or approving a permanent transfer.
According to reports from within the club, Afsha has attracted interest from several teams outside Egypt. Clubs in Libya and Iraq are said to be monitoring his situation, while a number of Egyptian Premier League sides have also expressed interest in securing his services should he become available.
Despite returning to Al Ahly following the expiration of his loan agreement, no final decision has been taken regarding his future. The matter is expected to be resolved after the club’s new head coach completes an assessment of the squad and identifies areas requiring reinforcement ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Sources indicate there is a split of opinion within the club regarding the midfielder. Some officials are believed to favour retaining Afsha and even exploring the possibility of extending his contract, citing his experience and previous contributions to the team.
Others, however, believe the final verdict should rest entirely with the incoming technical staff, who will determine whether the player fits into their tactical plans moving forward.
While uncertainty surrounds his next move, Afsha’s personal preference appears clear. Reports suggest the midfielder is eager to remain at Al Ahly and fight for his place in the squad, hoping to help the club return to winning ways after a challenging period.
For now, the former fan favourite remains in limbo as Al Ahly prepares for a new era, with a crucial decision on his future expected in the coming weeks.
