Reda Slim has moved to quash speculation about his future, issuing an official statement to clarify his status at Al-Ahly. The Moroccan midfielder dismissed reports claiming he had reached an agreement to terminate his contract with the Egyptian giants by mutual consent and return to FAR Rabat.
Slim spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at the Moroccan outfit, where he played a pivotal role in their remarkable journey to the CAF Champions League final. FAR's impressive run concluded in defeat when Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa claimed continental glory. Despite his standout performance in North Africa, the 26-year-old appears committed to fighting for his place in Cairo.
Slim Sets the Record Straight
Through a post on Instagram, Slim addressed the swirling transfer rumours directly: "Some news reports and social media pages have circulated rumours claiming that an agreement has been reached to terminate my contract with Al Ahly of Egypt by mutual consent, and that my return to the ranks of FAR Rabat is imminent, but this news has no basis in truth." His statement carries weight given the intensity of Egyptian media speculation around squad movements.
The midfielder emphasized his current priorities, stating: "I am currently focused entirely on my physical and technical readiness, in order to deliver the best levels and to be among the coaching staff's options to compete for a starting place within Al Ahly of Egypt." This message signals his determination to earn regular minutes at the Red Castle rather than secure another loan move away from the club.
What Lies Ahead
Al-Ahly, Africa's most successful club with 42 league titles, will be watching closely as Slim works to prove his worth during pre-season. His CAF Champions League experience from the FAR loan spell could prove valuable as the Cairo-based outfit prepares for both domestic and continental challenges in the coming season.
