The truth about Al Ahly's desire to sign Mahmoud El Gazar from Bank El Ahly

Khaled El Ghandour has revealed the truth about Al Ahly's desire to sign Mahmoud El Gazar from Bank El Ahly during the upcoming winter transfer window to compensate for the absence of Amr El Gazar due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Khaled El Ghandour stated in television remarks that these reports are unfounded, and there has been no communication between Al Ahly and Bank El Ahly regarding Mahmoud El Gazar, either officially or even verbally, and that what is being circulated on this matter is merely talk that has not entered the negotiation phase.

He concluded by saying: "Al Ahly has been working for some time on the January reinforcement file, and they have not started thinking about signing a defender following Amr El Gazar's injury, especially since the center-back position was among the positions the club had previously identified as needs during the winter transfer period."

Al Ahly face Abo Qir this evening, Tuesday, in the fifth round of the Egyptian League at Cairo International Stadium, in a match where the Red team aims to secure victory and collect the match points.
