PORT SAID: Masri have beefed up their frontline with Stade Malien strike partners Bakary “Bako Coulibaly and Osman Bagayoko, the Port-Said club said.
Masri chairman Kamel Abou-Ali announced at a press conference that the Malians have both penned three-and-a-half-year contracts and should join the club by January 2010.
Bako and Bagayoko scored 10 goals between them to steer Malien to the final of the African Confederation Cup, where they will meet ES Setif of Algeria.
They scored two goals apiece in Malien s 4-2 semi-final victory over ENPPI on Sunday.
The pair, who are both 25, were closely watched by Ittihad, but Masri eventually won the race and signed them.
