Al Ahly's management has closed the door on any negotiations with Al Khulood regarding the continuation of Malian player Aliou Diang, whether through a sale or extending his loan.

Reports within Al Ahly confirmed that the management informed Diang of the necessity to return to the Red Castle in preparation for the FIFA Club World Cup, as he is considered a key element in the team's plans.

An Egyptian media figure revealed that Al Khulood's delay in settling Diang's loan payments, despite an agreement on the payment schedule, has angered Al Ahly, which has only received one payment so far.

Al Ahly's management expressed its dissatisfaction with the Saudi club's dealings, prompting them to take a firm stance against any future joint deals, especially after repeated delays in financial commitments.

Diang is expected to play a pivotal role with Al Ahly in upcoming tournaments, especially with the team's ambition to achieve a strong performance in the FIFA Club World Cup and local competitions.
