From 5 titles in Cairo to a Moroccan homecoming: Reda Slim’s next big move

AS FAR has officially approached Al Ahly this summer opening intense negotiations to bring talented winger Reda Slim back to the Moroccan league.

Despite arriving in Egypt with massive expectations, the 26 year old forward has found himself pushed to the fringes of Al Ahly's tactical blueprint for the upcoming campaign. The Cairo powerhouse currently boasts overwhelming depth and fierce competition on the attacking flanks.

Because the technical staff relies heavily on established, impactful wingers in his specific position, Slim's path to guaranteed starting minutes has been severely blocked prompting the search for a new destination.

Navigating financial roadblocks

While the clubs are open to doing business, the deal is far from finalized. According to the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm, the primary obstacle stalling the transfer revolves around personal terms.

The report confirms that the salary proposed in Slim's new contract has emerged as a major point of contention requiring further negotiations between the player's camp and the Moroccan front office to bridge the financial gap.

A trophy-laden chapter

Should the transfer materialize, the Moroccan star will leave the Egyptian capital boasting a remarkable medal collection. During his highly successful stint with the Red Devils.

He secured two Egyptian Premier League titles, lifted the Egypt Cup, won the Egyptian Super Cup and captured the prestigious CAF Champions League crown.

The perfect homecoming narrative

This potential transfer represents a poetic footballing homecoming rather than a standard transfer. Fans will vividly recall that Slim originally joined Al Ahly directly from AS FAR in the summer of 2023.

Before his high-profile move to Cairo, he was the undisputed king of the Moroccan side, famously registering 11 goals and 10 assists to lead them to a dramatic Botola Pro title.
