Zineddine Belaïd could soon be on the move. According to DZ Foot, the Algerian defender has reportedly agreed to join Al Ahly. The Egyptian club is said to be highly interested in his profile and has already submitted an initial offer.

Since arriving at Sint-Truiden last summer, Zineddine Belaïd has struggled to fully convince in Belgium. Lacking consistency, he has featured in only 15 matches since the start of the season. Despite some promising moments, he has found it difficult to establish himself as an undisputed starter.

At 26, a return to the African continent now seems increasingly likely. Al Ahly, a powerhouse of African football, is looking to bolster its defense with an experienced player. The project on offer is ambitious, providing the ideal environment to reignite his career. While the details of the deal remain to be finalized, all signs suggest the coming weeks will be decisive for Zineddine Belaïd's future.
