Mohamed Salem, the first-team striker of Arab Contractors, has attracted interest from Iraqi football after the club received an official offer from Erbil to sign the player during the current summer transfer window.

The offer comes as Arab Contractors work to finalize their squad ahead of the new season, particularly with the Egyptian league campaign approaching, making the potential departure of one of the team’s key players a matter for careful consideration by the club’s administration and coaching staff. ⚽

Erbil Submit Offer for Mohamed Salem

The proposal submitted by Iraqi club Erbil involves signing Mohamed Salem on loan for one season, with Arab Contractors’ management set to study the offer in coordination with head coach Sami Komsan before making a final decision.

The club is evaluating the proposal from several perspectives, particularly because Salem is considered an important member of the squad and possesses considerable experience in Egyptian football.

His experience and role within the team make him one of the players the coaching staff are expected to rely on while building the squad for the new season.

The coaching staff are expected to determine their position on the offer in the coming period before the club’s administration makes the final decision on whether to approve the loan or keep the player.

Mohamed Salem Clarifies His Position

Mohamed Salem, meanwhile, confirmed that he fully respects the decision of Arab Contractors’ administration and coaching staff regarding his future.

The striker explained that he has no objection to remaining with the club or taking on a new challenge in the Iraqi league.

Salem stressed that he will respect whatever decision the club makes, emphasizing that his priority is to honor his contract with Arab Contractors and follow the coaching staff’s plans.

His position reflects his flexibility regarding his future, particularly as a move to the Iraqi league could provide him with a new experience, while remaining with Arab Contractors remains a realistic possibility given his importance to the squad.

Arab Contractors’ All-Time Top Scorer

Mohamed Salem holds a special place in Arab Contractors’ history, as he is the club’s all-time leading scorer, giving him significant technical value and experience within the squad.

This status makes any decision regarding his loan departure one that requires careful technical consideration, especially as head coach Sami Komsan prepares the team for a new season and hopes to retain as many experienced players as possible.

At the same time, a loan move could provide Salem with an opportunity to experience football abroad, particularly if the Iraqi offer proves suitable from both technical and financial perspectives. 🔥
