Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly is reportedly considering a move for Kelechi Iheanacho, the former Manchester City striker.
Iheanacho, who made a free transfer to Sevilla last summer after leaving Leicester City, has had a challenging start in La Liga, failing to register any goals or assists in nine league matches this season. This lack of impact has led Sevilla to explore the possibility of a loan deal in the upcoming January transfer window, which may include an option to purchase.
While several clubs in England have shown interest in Iheanacho, the 28-year-old is also drawing attention from teams in Greece, Turkey, and the United States.
According to the English publication Express, Al Ahly has emerged as a serious contender for his services, potentially looking to replace South African forward Percy Tau as they aim to strengthen their attack ahead of the Club World Cup in the USA this summer.
Iheanacho has previously represented Nigeria in the 2018 World Cup in Russia and participated in two AFCON tournaments. With his extensive experience at top clubs like Manchester City and Leicester City, he could prove to be a valuable asset for the African champions.
If the speculation holds true, negotiations are likely to ramp up in the coming weeks as Sevilla seeks to offload the striker, while Al Ahly aims to seize the opportunity to enhance their squad with a seasoned forward.
