Ahmed Hassan, the former Zamalek star, revealed an anticipated decision from the Al Ahly management regarding Imam Ashour, the team's star.

Ahmed Hassan said on "dmc" channel: "Al Ahly is introducing a new category for player contracts, and we can say this innovation is due to Imam Ashour."

He added: "Imam Ashour will join the pre-first category, which has different advantages, and I believe it includes only 4 players in the team: Ahmed Mostafa Zizo after being announced, Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet, the new arrival, and Mohamed El Shenawy, the team captain."

He continued: "The decision from Al Ahly came after some Gulf clubs started to gauge interest in Imam Ashour with some agents in order to sign the player."

He clarified: "Al Ahly's response was decisive, that Imam Ashour is not for sale and the player will continue with Al Ahly, with the direction to extend Imam's contract for an additional 3 years, making it 5 years remaining on his contract."

Ahmed Hassan concluded: "Imam Ashour will enter the first category, and the figures reach 80, 90, and 100 million pounds."
