Al-Ain have clarified their position regarding the rumors about their interest in signing Yasser Ibrahim from Al Ahly FC during the upcoming winter transfer window. Meanwhile, the management of the Egyptian club is awaiting the player's decision regarding the offer made to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the current season.
The Emirati newspaper 'Al-Bayan' reported that an official within Al-Ain denied the existence of any negotiations with Al Ahly FC defender Marwan Ateya at the moment, confirming that the list of foreign players in the team is complete, which rules out any move to sign him in the upcoming period.
In related news, a source within Al Ahly FC revealed the truth behind the reports about Yasser Ibrahim receiving an offer from Al Ahli Benghazi, clarifying that the club's management has no official information regarding this offer.
The source indicated the possibility of the offer reaching the player personally, with the potential for him to consider the idea of moving to the Libyan club after his contract with Al Ahly FC ends at the end of the current season.
The source confirmed that the management of Al Ahly FC has indeed submitted an official offer to renew the contract of the defender, whose association with the club ends with the conclusion of the current season. It emphasized that the final decision regarding his future depends on the player's stance on the presented offer.
According to the source, Yasser Ibrahim has two options: either agree to renew and continue his journey with Al Ahly FC, or reject the offer and look for a new destination starting from next season, with the possibility of moving to any club for free after his contract ends.
Regarding the financial aspects, the source emphasized that the management of Al Ahly FC will not make a new offer of a higher value, as they are committed to a specific salary cap within the team and have no intention of exceeding it at this time.
The club is applying the same financial policy to renewal contracts, citing several players who have recently renewed their contracts according to the approved ceiling, including Mohamed El Shenawy, Emam Ashour, Hussein El Shahat, Mostafa Shobair, and Marwan Ateya.
The source revealed details of the financial offer made to Yasser Ibrahim, which includes an annual salary of 25 million Egyptian pounds, in addition to 10 million pounds in the form of incentives and additional bonuses, according to the agreed bonus system.
The future of Al Ahly FC defender is now dependent on his final decision, as the management remains firm on their financial offer and is not willing to increase it, with the player's contract set to expire at the end of the current season.
Al Ahly FC refuse to adjust their financial offer to renew Yasser Ibrahim's contract.
