Kalmar FF is reportedly considering making Moroccan defender Ashraf Dari's loan move permanent. The 26-year-old center-back, currently on loan from Egyptian giants Al Ahly SC, has made a strong impression during his spell in the Allsvenskan, prompting the club's management to seriously evaluate the purchase option in his loan agreement.

Dari joined Al Ahly at the beginning of last season from French club Stade Brestois 29 but struggled to secure consistent playing time due to injuries and competition for places. After falling out of the club's immediate plans, the Moroccan international was sent on loan to Kalmar FF until the end of the current campaign, with a view to regaining form and match sharpness.

Since arriving in Sweden, Ashraf Dari has quickly adapted to the demands of the Allsvenskan. He has earned regular minutes and rebuilt his confidence on the pitch. Reports indicate that Dari has already featured in five league matches, completing the full 90 minutes in four of them—a clear indication of growing trust from the coaching staff.

His performances have helped stabilize Kalmar FF's defensive structure, even as the club continues to struggle in the lower half of the table. Kalmar currently sits 13th in the standings after five rounds, collecting four points and remaining just one point above the relegation zone. Despite their position, the club is encouraged by Dari’s influence at the back. Their next test comes against league leaders IK Sirius Fotboll.

Although Dari is impressing in Sweden, his long-term future remains tied to Cairo, where he is contracted to Al Ahly SC until the summer of 2028. Since the start of the current season, the defender has made seven appearances for Al Ahly across domestic competitions, including matches in the Cairo Capital Cup and Egypt Cup. However, injuries have disrupted his continuity, with reports indicating he missed as many as 16 matches this season due to fitness issues.

The initial loan arrangement with Kalmar FF was not expected to become permanent, but the player’s recent performances have reportedly changed internal discussions at the Swedish club. Kalmar is now said to be seriously assessing whether to trigger the purchase clause, depending on both financial conditions and the defender’s continued form. Dari’s ability to settle quickly, regain physical stability, and deliver consistent performances has positioned him as a valuable option for a club fighting to secure its position.
