Libyan giants Al-Ittihad Club have officially completed the payment of transfer fees to Moroccan champions Wydad Athletic Club for the signing of two players who were previously part of the Casablanca-based side.

According to reports, a total of $1.4 million (approximately TSh 3.9 billion) has been paid to finalize the deal. Of that amount, $800,000 (TSh 2.04 billion) was paid for attacking midfielder Stephane Aziz Ki, while $600,000 (TSh 1.53 billion) covered the transfer of South African winger Thembinkosi Lorch.

The completion of these payments officially concludes the transfer process, with both players already beginning their duties at Al-Ittihad for the 2025/26 season.
