Ahmed El-Sayed Comments on Wissam Abu Ali’s Crisis with Al Ahly and His Firm Desire to Leave
Ahmed El-Sayed, former Al Ahly and Egypt national team star, spoke about the recent controversy surrounding Palestinian striker Wissam Abu Ali and his strong insistence on leaving the club, a matter that sparked wide debate among fans.
Player’s Rights vs. Club Interests
In exclusive remarks on the program “La’bat Weltanya” with Karim Ramzy on Radio Mega FM, El-Sayed affirmed that every player has the legitimate right to seek better professional opportunities that fulfill his personal and career ambitions. Conversely, clubs must balance these aspirations with the team’s financial interests, ensuring fair and professional benefit from the departure of any influential player.
Al Ahly’s Professional Management of Wissam’s Case
He pointed out that Al Ahly gave Wissam Abu Ali his real opportunity to shine, as he was relatively unknown before joining the Reds. El-Sayed highlighted that the club managed the player’s case professionally and wisely, both in negotiations and in handling his on- and off-field behavior. He accepted Wissam’s apology for recent actions, reflecting maturity and balanced player management.
Al Ahly Needs a New Striker with Unique Qualities
El-Sayed stressed that Al Ahly needs to strengthen its attacking line with a player possessing qualities similar to Wissam Abu Ali, as current options do not match his tactical and technical level. Wissam is distinguished by his balanced offensive and defensive skills, a type the club has missed for years, unlike players like Kahraba and Mohamed Sherif who have very different playing styles.
Strong Alternatives Set to Reinforce Attack
Concluding, El-Sayed said Osama Qaisal could be a good replacement for Wissam Abu Ali, thanks to his technical abilities and adaptability. He also mentioned Ahmed Hassan “Koka” as an important option to boost the attack, due to his valuable professional experience abroad, promising to be a strong asset for Al Ahly in the upcoming season.
Future Outlook: Al Ahly’s Transfer Strategy
El-Sayed added that Al Ahly’s management is fully aware of the importance of balancing team building for the future with reinforcing the squad for strong local and continental competition. He confirmed the team needs clear plans in the transfer market, especially to secure the striker position, a key pillar for the club’s success in upcoming tournaments.
