🔴 Tempting Offers Abroad for Afsha Amid Growing Desire to Leave
Mohamed Magdy Afsha, Al Ahly’s attacking midfielder, is facing a crucial turning point in his career after receiving several lucrative offers from foreign clubs ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window in January 2026. The offers—mainly from Arab and Gulf leagues—come at a time when the player’s role in the team has declined, and he’s eager to return to regular starting action.

🧠 Afsha Out of the Technical Staff’s Plans
In recent months, Afsha has been largely excluded from Al Ahly’s starting line-up in both domestic and African competitions, despite being fully fit. This sidelining has had a negative impact on the player, who has voiced his frustration more than once within training camps, showing dissatisfaction with being overlooked, especially as other players continue to feature in his position.
According to sources close to the player, the repeated exclusion by successive coaching staffs—despite managerial changes—has led him to believe there’s no serious intention to reintegrate him into the starting lineup. This pushed him to formally request to leave in January.

✅ Al Ahly Open to His Departure
Given the player’s desire to leave and the current lack of technical need for him, Al Ahly’s management has shown flexibility regarding his potential departure in the winter transfer window. The decision follows discussions with the current technical staff, who did not express strong interest in retaining the player—especially with multiple options available in his position, such as Emam Ashour, Ahmed Abdelkader, and Kahraba.
The club’s planning committee sees Afsha’s departure as potentially beneficial for all parties, whether in technical terms or financially, particularly if the right offer comes in.

🇦🇪🇱🇾 Official Interest from Libyan and Emirati Clubs
Afsha’s agent has already received serious inquiries from clubs in the Libyan and Emirati leagues interested in signing the player for the second half of the season. These talks are expected to turn into formal offers in the coming weeks as the January window approaches.
Afsha prefers to pursue a new overseas challenge where he can play regularly while also securing a financially rewarding contract, especially at this stage of his career after years with Al Ahly, during which he won most of the available trophies.

⏪ Departure Was Postponed in the Summer
It’s worth noting that Afsha received similar offers during the last summer transfer window. However, Al Ahly’s management refused to let him leave at the time due to the team’s technical needs and preparations for the new season and CAF Champions League. But with his situation unchanged and continued absence from matchday squads, a January exit now seems very likely.
Afsha, who joined Al Ahly from Pyramids FC, is considered one of the most talented playmakers in the Egyptian Premier League and is fondly remembered by fans—especially for his iconic goal against Zamalek in the 2020 CAF Champions League final.

🧭 What’s Next?
The coming weeks will be decisive in shaping the future of the player, as formal negotiations are expected with interested clubs. Al Ahly's management will evaluate any offers based on both financial benefit and the team’s technical needs during the second half of the season. Ultimately, the final decision lies with the club’s board.
