Sports critic Amr Al-Dardir spoke about the details of Al-Ahly's negotiations with Baghdad Bounedjah.

Al-Dardir said on Facebook: “I have information that Bounedjah asked Al-Khatib directly for 2 million and 400 thousand dollars per season, even if he wanted it for one month.” In the Club World Cup, Al-Ahly will receive $500,000, with an additional bonus of $100,000 for every round that Al-Ahly passes.”

He continued: “Al-Khatib did not like the words and said, ‘Thank you. We don’t want to.’ The players’ agents took him and informed Zamalek officials about it.” They wear it on us so we would prefer to pay him in fines with FIFA for the rest of our lives.. No, my love, thank you. They don’t want us too.. We are not richer than Al-Ahly in money, so you would offer it to us.. If Al-Ahly refuses, we will accept it!!”

Ahly achieved a landslide victory over its counterpart, CR Belouizdad, last Sunday, with a score of 6-1, in the third round of the group stage of the African Champions League.
