Latest reports suggest that the CAF Champions League titleholder has set its sights on Tunisian defensive midfielder Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, currently playing for the Hungarian club Ferencváros TC.

A preliminary agreement between the two parties seems closer than ever, much to the dismay of Espérance de Tunis supporters who have branded their former protégé a traitor for negotiating with their arch-rival.

Ben Romdhane after Ashour and Zizo?

Both players were also labeled as traitors and faced harsh criticism on social media.
