Swedish club Jäis has rejected the offer made by Egyptian club Al Ahly to sign Ivorian striker Ibrahim Diabate during the upcoming winter transfer window, according to Al-Watan newspaper, due to the financial compensation not meeting the Swedish club's required amount.

Jace is firm on obtaining $3 million in exchange for letting go of his standout striker, amid interest from several European clubs. The player has offers from France and Germany, but these have not met the club's financial demands.

The newspaper pointed out that Diabate currently prefers to continue playing in Europe, despite his awareness of interest from Arab clubs. However, he requires an annual salary ranging from one million to one and a half million dollars if he were to move to Arab leagues.

Al Ahly Club continues its search for a strong foreign striker to strengthen the team in the upcoming January transfer window, based on a recommendation from Danish head coach Jes Thorup to boost the attacking line in the second half of the season.
