🚨 Al Ahly Respond to Reports of Wessam Abou Ali's Return
Palestinian striker Wessam Abou Ali has returned to the spotlight among Al Ahly supporters after reports emerged in recent hours claiming that the Red Castle could be considering negotiations with the Columbus Crew forward to bring him back to the club.
As speculation surrounding a possible return increased, a source inside Al Ahly revealed the club's position, putting an end to much of the debate over the Palestinian striker's future and the possibility of seeing him wear the team's shirt again.
🟥 No Negotiations With the Player at Present
The source confirmed that Al Ahly have not entered into negotiations with Wessam Abou Ali, either directly or indirectly, during the current period, stressing that the player is not part of the club's current transfer plans.
The source explained that Abou Ali remains under contract with American side Columbus Crew, meaning there are currently no official or direct negotiations regarding a return to Al Ahly.
This comes amid reports suggesting that the striker could potentially return to the Red Castle, but Al Ahly have denied making any actual move in that direction.
🩺 ACL Injury Makes a Return Even More Difficult
The source also pointed to the player's medical situation as another reason why the idea of negotiating with him is not currently being considered, as Abou Ali is dealing with an ACL injury that has kept him out of action.
As a result, the Palestinian striker is currently unavailable for matches, making a move for him at this stage an unrealistic option for Al Ahly, according to the source.
This situation comes alongside the player's ongoing contractual relationship with Columbus Crew, making talk of an immediate return to Cairo even more difficult.
❌ Al Ahly Deny Contract Termination Reports
The source also addressed reports claiming that Wessam Abou Ali had terminated his contract with Columbus Crew, confirming that these reports are incorrect.
According to the source, Al Ahly's transfer department checked the player's contractual situation and confirmed that he remains tied to the American club, contradicting reports suggesting that his contract had already been terminated.
The source stressed that Al Ahly cannot negotiate with a player who remains under contract with another club, particularly after the Egyptian side previously sold Abou Ali to Columbus Crew for approximately $7 million.
🔥 Is the Return File Now Closed?
According to the source's statements, reports about Wessam Abou Ali returning to Al Ahly at the current stage are not based on any official move by the club, and there are no negotiations aimed at bringing the striker back.
The Palestinian forward's future remains linked to his situation at Columbus Crew and his recovery from injury, while Al Ahly currently do not appear to have his return among their transfer priorities.
For now, Al Ahly have made their position clear regarding the latest rumors, while any potential return for Wessam Abou Ali would depend on future developments rather than an active move currently being pursued by the club.
Do you think Wessam Abou Ali could return to Al Ahly in the future, or has the Palestinian striker's chapter with the Red Castle come to an end? 👀
