Ligue 2 club Saint-Étienne is interested in Achraf Dari to reinforce its defense. Dari is a free agent following the unilateral termination of his contract with Al Ahly. He experienced a difficult period at Al Ahly because of injuries, which limited his number of appearances.

AS Saint-Étienne, who are actively seeking a central defender for the end of the season, are monitoring Achraf Dari. The 26-year-old defender plays for Al-Ahly in Egypt, has appeared in seven matches this season, and could make a return to Europe during the winter transfer window. Three Swiss clubs—Zurich, Lugano, and Young Boys—are also tracking the Moroccan international, who has 7 caps and 1 goal for his country. He transferred to the Egyptian club from Brest in August 2024 for a reported fee of €1.8 million. His contract with Al Ahly runs until June 2028. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.2 million.
