The head of recruitment at Al Ahly, Amir Tawfik, has confirmed that the club are still in talks with Mamelodi Sundowns over a move for Gaston Sirino.
The Uruguayan has been consistently linked to the Egyptian giants for several months and despite signing a new contract with Downs in July, the player has publicly admitted that he wants to be reunited with former head coach Pitso Mosimane.
Al Ahly’s Amir Tawfik admitted that they are still negotiating with Sundowns and have not spoken to the forward directly.
“Sirino has always been a transfer target for Al Ahly,” Tawfik said. “There has been contact before, and if anything happens, the club will officially announce it.
“We are talking with the Sundowns officials, and if any serious development occurs, we will begin negotiations with the player then,” he concluded.
