Al Ahly Changes Mustafa Qabil's Priorities and Nears Signing Him
Thursday 29-01-2026
Mustafa Qabil's priorities and decisions, the player of Erbil team and the Iraqi Olympic team, have changed in the past hours after the Egyptian Al Ahly club renewed its insistence on signing him during the current winter transfer period.

Qabil is considered one of the most prominent rising Iraqi talents, as he is quickly paving his way towards stardom, and he is expected to be one of the important names in the ranks of the Lions of Mesopotamia in the coming years, given his great technical capabilities.

Special sources confirmed to winwin that the player, after previously expressing his desire to continue with Erbil until the end of the season, decided to reverse this decision following the return of the Egyptian Al Ahly to the negotiation table, presenting a more serious offer to finalize the deal, driven by the Egyptian administration's conviction of the player's abilities and technical skills.

The sources added that Qabil informed his coach Basim Qasim and the Erbil club management of his clear desire to leave during the current period, considering that moving to the Egyptian Al Ahly represents a great opportunity to experience his first professional stint outside Iraq, especially since this opportunity may not be repeated, in light of Al Ahly's pursuit to finalize an attacking deal during the current winter mercato.

The sources indicated that the player was absent from his team's training as an initial step towards completing the deal, which led to his absence from Erbil's last match against Al Karkh, which ended in a positive draw (1-1), as the player is currently fully focused on completing his transfer to the 'Club of the Century'.

It was noted that the transfer of his teammate in the Iraqi Olympic team, Haider Abdul Karim, to the Saudi Al Nassr club, provided an additional incentive for Qabil to embark on an external professional experience.

The sources concluded that the Erbil club management is carefully studying the current situation, where they will evaluate the financial offer presented by the Egyptian Al Ahly, along with exploring available options in the transfer market to compensate for the player's departure, whether by signing a professional or local striker.

The sources concluded by emphasizing that the Erbil management does not mind the young player's transfer if the financial offer is suitable, with their keenness to ensure the club's interest technically before officially completing the deal.
