Where Will Ali Maaloul Go Next?

The future of Tunisian football star Ali Maaloul remains unclear, more than a month after he officially departed Al Ahly, ending a highly successful nine-year spell with the Egyptian giants. The former left-back has yet to announce his next destination, leaving fans and clubs in suspense.

Offers From Gulf Clubs

Reports have suggested that several clubs from Saudi Arabia and Qatar are interested in signing Maaloul. However, no official agreements have been announced so far. Sources close to the player confirm that he has received multiple offers, but he has not made a final decision regarding his future.

Possible Return to Tunisia

A potential return to his boyhood club, CS Sfaxien, is also under consideration. According to insiders, the club and its fans are eager to see Maaloul back. However, financial differences remain a major obstacle, given the significant gap between his previous salary at Al Ahly and what he could earn in the Tunisian league.

No Move to Another Egyptian Club

Maaloul has ruled out any possibility of joining another Egyptian club. He has reportedly refused offers from Egypt out of respect for Al Ahly and its fans, stating that the Red Devils’ jersey is the only one he would wear in Egyptian football.
