Ahli have clinched Olympic promising center-half Ateya Al-Belkasi starting from next summer, the player's agent said on Tuesday. "Belkasi signed a four-year contract with Ahli, but he will be eligible to play by the start of next season," agent Wael Abdul-Fattah told FilGoal.com. Ahli formulated a wide search for defenders in recent weeks, as they intend to reinforce their ageing backline. Regular trio Shadi Mohamed, Wael Gomaa and Ahmed Al-Sayed experienced a stint of inconsistency in recent weeks, whereas backup center-half Rami Adel has fallen out with coach Manuel Jose. In addition to Belkasi, the Red Devils are reportedly in talks with Asyut Petroleum defender Mahmoud Abdul-Aati 'Samna', despite both players' unfashionable names. In the same context, the African champions have agreed to loan out youth team duo Ahmed Abdul-Rahman and Mostafa Talaat to the struggling Olympic. The Alexandrians are second from bottom in the league table, and a return to the second division seems to be on the cards.
