Mamdouh Salah's Move to Al Ahly Delayed

Renowned broadcaster Ahmed Shobair has confirmed that Mahmoud Salah, the star of Ghazl El Mahalla, is close to joining Al Ahly during the current summer transfer window.

In radio statements, Shobir said: "Al Ahly and El Mahalla reached an agreement, but Al Ahly requested to pay the amount in installments, which the club rejected."

The club stated: "Ghazl El Mahalla is not rushing to sell the player at the moment and believes he can excel in the new season and receive European offers."

He added: "Ghazl El Mahalla had a friendly match with Haras El Hodood, but before the match, the player confirmed to him that he was unable to participate in the game and was excluded."

He explained: "The decision will be made after the negotiations with Al Ahly, either regarding the player's departure or imposing a penalty on him for withdrawing from participating in the match... It is almost certain that Mahmoud Salah will remain at Al Ahly."
