Al Ahly has settled the future of Emam Ashour, the first-team midfielder, after deciding to keep him with the club during the current season and permanently closing the door on his departure.

Al Ahly Makes Final Decision on Emam Ashour

A source at Al Ahly said that the club has firmly informed Emam Ashour that he will not leave the team this season.

The club also made it clear that any discussions regarding his transfer to another club have been completely closed, as the management considers the midfielder an important part of the squad.

Al Ahly Offers Emam Ashour a New Contract

According to the source, Emam Ashour currently earns an annual salary of EGP 18 million.

Al Ahly has submitted an offer to restructure his contract and increase his annual salary to EGP 25 million, with the possibility of additional performance-related bonuses.

Bonuses Could Reach EGP 12 Million

The proposed contract includes bonuses worth up to EGP 8 million, linked to appearances and winning titles.

The total value of these incentives could rise to EGP 12 million, depending on the final agreement between the player and the club.

However, Al Ahly does not intend to increase the basic salary beyond EGP 25 million in order to maintain balance within the team's overall wage structure.

Trezeguet’s Departure Helps Al Ahly’s Finances

The source also explained that the departure of Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet” helped Al Ahly save significant amounts of money, particularly because the player had been receiving a high salary during his time at the club.

This gives Al Ahly greater financial flexibility to restructure the contracts of some key players while maintaining the club's wage policy.

Al Ahly Introduces a New Advertising Revenue System

Regarding advertising deals, the source revealed that Al Ahly has introduced a new system for distributing advertising revenues between the club and its players.

If an advertising campaign belongs to one of the club's official sponsors, the player and Al Ahly will receive 50% each of the revenue.

For advertisements from external companies, the player will receive 70%, while the club will receive 30%.

No Mandatory Advertising Contracts for Players

The source stressed that Al Ahly does not impose mandatory advertising contracts on its players.

Each player has the right to accept or reject any advertising opportunity according to his own preference.

The new system aims to regulate the commercial relationship between the club and its players while ensuring fair distribution of advertising revenues.
