Al Ahly have finalized one of the most important contract files that had occupied the attention of the club’s fans in recent weeks, after reaching a final agreement with Emam Ashour, the first-team midfielder, to extend and restructure his contract until 2030. 🔴⚽

The renewal of Emam Ashour’s contract ends the uncertainty surrounding the player’s future in recent weeks, amid reports linking him with interest from clubs outside Egypt.

At the same time, Al Ahly’s management remained determined to keep Emam Ashour, considering him one of the key players in the team’s plans for the coming period.

Crucial Meeting with Emam Ashour’s Father

The Emam Ashour contract renewal file witnessed rapid developments during the final hours after a series of negotiations between Al Ahly’s management, the player, and his father, eventually resulting in a final formula that satisfied all parties. 📢

According to the details of the negotiations, Dr. Essam Serag El Din, head of Al Ahly’s contracts sector, held a meeting with Emam Ashour’s father on Tuesday afternoon, during which the final details regarding the player’s contract extension and restructuring were presented.

Al Ahly officials were keen during the meeting to clarify all financial and contractual terms in the offer, while emphasizing the club’s desire to receive a final response, whether approval or rejection, in order to close the file and prevent the negotiations from continuing for a longer period.

The club’s football management had been seeking to complete the important contract files as quickly as possible, particularly those involving the team’s key players, allowing the coaching staff and management to focus on upcoming commitments away from off-field matters.

A Surprise Decision Before Midnight

Negotiations between the two sides remained unresolved until the final hours of Tuesday evening before a surprise breakthrough settled Emam Ashour’s future with Al Ahly. 🔥

Sources familiar with the negotiations revealed that Emam Ashour’s father informed the club officials of his approval of Al Ahly’s final offer approximately one hour before midnight.

Once approval was obtained, preparations for the contracts and the final details began, quickly moving the negotiations from the agreement stage to the official signing.

Emam Ashour then went with his father to where Essam Serag El Din was located, with the contracts finalized and signed during the early hours of Wednesday, specifically around 1:00 AM.

This closed one of the most closely followed contract files among Al Ahly fans in recent weeks. 🔴✍️

What Does Emam Ashour’s New Contract Include?

Under the new agreement, Emam Ashour received an adjustment to the financial compensation he receives from Al Ahly, in line with his status within the team and the role he currently performs.

According to the details circulating about the agreement, the value of the player’s contract for the current season and next season increased from EGP 15 million to EGP 25 million per season. 💰

The financial value of the contract is not limited to the basic salary, as the agreement also includes bonuses linked to specific contractual clauses that can reach EGP 10 million, depending on the achievement of agreed conditions and targets.

The agreement also stipulates that the same financial value will continue during the final two seasons of the contract, with a slight increase in the value of the related bonuses.

As a result, Al Ahly secure the player’s services for a long period, while Emam Ashour receives financial compensation that reflects his role and importance within the team. ⚽🔴

Advertising Benefits in Emam Ashour’s Contract

One of the most notable clauses in the new agreement gives Emam Ashour the opportunity to generate additional financial returns through advertising and media appearances during his contract with the club.

The agreement allows the player to benefit from advertising opportunities and television programs, either through Al Ahly’s official sponsors or through advertising agreements with entities outside the club’s sponsorship structure.

This clause does not include a specific financial obligation from Al Ahly toward the player, as the value of the returns depends on the actual agreements reached for advertising campaigns, programs, or media appearances during the contract period.

The clause gives the player greater room to benefit from his name and popularity while remaining contracted to Al Ahly until 2030. 📺🔥
