⚽ Basheer El Tabei Discusses Al Ahly Contract Renewals
Former Al Ahly and Egypt star Basheer El Tabei has discussed the club’s approach to renewing first-team contracts amid negotiations with several players whose current deals are approaching their end.
El Tabei believes maintaining squad stability may require certain exceptions for players who have built a significant history with the club and contributed over several seasons.
⭐ Hany and Yasser Ibrahim Deserve Special Consideration
Speaking on the “Number One” program, El Tabei said: “There needs to be some exceptions for certain Al Ahly players when renewing contracts, such as Mohamed Hany and Yasser Ibrahim, because of their history with Al Ahly and what they have given the club.”
His comments come as Al Ahly continue to work within a defined financial framework for contract negotiations, raising discussion over how the club can balance its salary structure with the contribution and experience of long-serving players.
Mohamed Hany and Yasser Ibrahim have both been part of Al Ahly’s first-team setup for several seasons, making their contract situations a subject of interest among supporters.
🔥 Imam Ashour and the Impact of Previous Exceptions
El Tabei also referred to the situation of Imam Ashour, suggesting that some Al Ahly players look at the exceptions previously granted to him when considering their own contract negotiations.
He added: “All the players at Al Ahly look at Imam Ashour because he received several exceptions, and now they want exceptions like his.”
From El Tabei’s perspective, differences in contract terms or financial benefits can lead other players to seek similar treatment, making the renewal process more complex for the club.
📋 Salary Policy Between Rules and Exceptions
El Tabei’s comments come amid ongoing discussions over Al Ahly’s negotiations with several first-team players, alongside the broader debate over salary ceilings, bonuses and exceptions within the squad.
The situation raises questions about how the club can retain important players while maintaining a consistent financial structure, particularly when dealing with footballers who have significant experience and long service at the club.
🏆 History Can Influence Renewal Decisions
From El Tabei’s perspective, contract negotiations should not be based solely on current numbers, but may also take into account a player’s history, contribution and importance to the team.
The final decisions regarding Mohamed Hany, Yasser Ibrahim and the other Al Ahly players will ultimately depend on the formal negotiations between the club and the players, while discussions continue over the preferred structure for maintaining squad stability.
