AHLY IN TALKS WITH JAPAN’S KAWASAKI FRONTALE TO SIGN BRAZILIAN MARCINHO

Egyptian giants Ahly are in talks with Japanese club Kawasaki Frontale to sign Brazilian forward Marcinho, local reports said. Ahly have tabled an improved offer after having an initial $1.5 million bid turned down by Kawasaki Frontale, who set an asking price of $3 million, Egyptian media reported. The reports also said that Ahly have already agreed personal terms with Marcinho, a 27-year-old winger who joined Kawasaki on a free transfer in the summer of 2021.

The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their frontline after an underachieving season saw them finish third in the Egyptian Premier League for their worst position in 30 years. They have already signed fellow Brazilian Bruno Savio from Bolivia’s Club Bolivar as well as Ceramica Cleopatra duo Shady Hussein and Mostafa Saad in the close season.
