Ahli favorites to sign 'young Barakat'

Barakat, 18, is being watched by Ahli and ENPPI, who both expressed interest in signing him from the Alexandrian side.

"Officials from Ahli and ENPPI have contacted me and asked to sign Abdul-Rahman, but Smouha must approve the transfer first," Amer Barakat, the youngster's father, told FilGoal.com.

"He prefers Ahli because of the popularity of the club, in addition to a meeting we had with Ahli U-18 coach Amr Anwar."

Barakat is currently with Egypt U-20 team in London ahead of the FIFA World Cup on home soil next month.
