Al Ahly have denied reports circulating in recent hours claiming that the club offered Emam Ashour, the first-team midfielder, to Saudi side Al Ittihad during the current summer transfer window.
The denial came through broadcaster Ahmed Shobeir, who revealed the club’s position regarding the reports surrounding the midfielder’s future and stressed that Al Ahly does not operate in this way when handling player transfers.
🔥 Al Ahly Deny Offering Emam Ashour to Al Ittihad
Ahmed Shobeir said during radio comments that Al Ahly completely denies offering Emam Ashour to Al Ittihad, explaining that the Egyptian club does not contact other teams to market its players or offer them for sale.
According to Shobeir, Al Ahly deals with official offers that arrive for its players. If a suitable proposal is received, the club studies it before making a decision that serves the interests of both the team and the player.
Shobeir also suggested that while some reports can be believed, others are difficult to accept, emphasizing that Al Ahly would not approach another club to offer Emam Ashour or any other player from its squad.
📢 Al Ahly Waiting for Official Offers
According to Shobeir, Al Ahly’s policy is to wait for official proposals from clubs interested in signing its players rather than taking the initiative to offer players to other teams.
If an official offer arrives for Emam Ashour, the club’s management would study its details, including the financial and sporting aspects, as well as the player’s position and whether a potential transfer fits the team’s needs.
The stance reflects Al Ahly’s approach to managing player transfers according to a clear strategy, particularly because Ashour is considered an important member of the team’s midfield.
⭐ Emam Ashour’s Future at Al Ahly
The comments come amid ongoing speculation about Emam Ashour’s future at Al Ahly, with the midfielder recently being linked with several potential offers from abroad.
Despite the reports, Al Ahly remain keen to keep the player in the squad for now, particularly at the beginning of the new season when the coaching staff needs all of its key players for domestic and continental competitions.
Ashour remains an important midfield option for Al Ahly, meaning that any potential departure would require careful consideration from the club if an official offer is actually received.
🏆 Al Ahly Begin League Campaign with ENPPI Win
On the sporting side, Al Ahly opened their Egyptian Premier League campaign with a 3-2 victory over Eastern Company ENPPI at Cairo International Stadium in the opening round.
The Red Giants collected their first three points of the title-defense campaign, giving them a positive start ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
The coaching staff is now focused on preparing the players and improving the team’s performance, particularly with league matches coming in quick succession and the need to collect positive results from the beginning of the season.
📅 Al Ahly’s Next Match Against ZED
Al Ahly will face ZED next Friday, August 28, 2026, in the second round of the Egyptian Premier League.
The match will be played at Cairo International Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 8:00 PM Cairo and Saudi Arabia time.
Al Ahly will be looking to secure a second consecutive victory and maintain their strong start to the league campaign, while the match will provide another test for the coaching staff and players.
With speculation surrounding Emam Ashour continuing, Al Ahly’s current position remains clear: the club does not offer its players to other teams, and any decision regarding Ashour’s departure would depend on receiving and studying an official proposal.
