A senior source at Al-Masry Club revealed that, following a thorough technical and financial assessment, the club’s management has decided not to renew the contract of Nigerian striker John Ebuka, which was set to expire at the end of the 2024/2025 season. The source explained that the player’s salary and financial demands exceeded what the club deemed appropriate relative to his on-field contributions, especially after failing to meet expectations in recent performances.

The source added that the coaching staff is now coordinating with the technical department to quickly find a replacement striker with stronger technical abilities, who meets professional standards without exceeding the club’s summer transfer budget. The club aims to boost its scoring power by signing a forward capable of making a difference and helping win titles, in line with fans' ambitions for success in both domestic and continental competitions.
At the same time, the club announced the formation of a specialized committee to oversee the youth sector trials for the 2025/2026 season. The committee includes a distinguished group of technical, administrative, and medical professionals to ensure a professional environment conducive to talent discovery. The committee is led by youth sector technical director Abbas Nour El-Din, along with coaches Amr El-Shamouti, Ahmed Nabih, and Wael El-Gabaly. Goalkeeper coach Said El-Naghy and assistant coaches Ibrahim Sobhi and Mohamed El-Shennawy are also part of the team.

On the administrative side, the sector's administrative director Mohamed El-Mansouri, Mr. El-Garahi, and player affairs officer Ibrahim El-Safty are involved. Captain Mohamed Habish will serve as the physical therapist, while Captain Adel Fouad will handle financial responsibilities. This initiative aims to establish a professional scouting system for the next generation of talent, ensuring long-term technical stability and the continued success of the club.
