Algerian midfielder Aliou Dieng, who plays for Al Ahly SC, has clarified his stance on the possibility of transferring to Pyramids FC if an agreement cannot be reached with Al Ahly's management to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the current season.

According to Al-Youm Al-Sabea newspaper, Dieng completely refuses to transfer to Pyramids, as he considers pursuing a career abroad—specifically in the Gulf leagues—as his first choice if he does not continue with Al Ahly, emphasizing that he does not wish to play for any other Egyptian club.

The newspaper explained that the Malian player believes he has made a remarkable history with Al Ahly and has a strong bond with its fans. He considers the Red Castle to be the main reason for his fame and for winning all local and continental titles, which makes him determined to maintain his image and loyalty to the club.

The report concluded that Dieng rejects the idea of waiting until the end of his contract to leave on a free transfer, similar to what happened with Ahmed Sayed Zizo. He emphasized his desire to leave in a way that preserves Al Ahly’s rights, while completely refusing to move to Pyramids, considering them a direct competitor to Al Ahly.
