🔴 Mahmoud Salah Takes a Surprising Step to Complete His Al Ahly Transfer

The expected move of Mahmoud Salah to Al Ahly appears to include an unusual aspect after sports critic Mahmoud Shawky revealed new details regarding the negotiations between the player and his former club Ghazl El Mahalla, amid the player’s strong desire to complete his move to the Red Castle. 🔥⚽

According to the details circulating, Mahmoud Salah took a notable step to facilitate the completion of the deal after agreeing to sacrifice his salary during his first season with Al Ahly, with most of that amount reportedly going toward Ghazl El Mahalla to help complete his transfer.

The move reflects the player’s determination to join Al Ahly, particularly because such situations are not common in the transfer market, where financial details are usually among the key factors that determine negotiations between clubs.

💰 A Financial Sacrifice for the Red Shirt

Details indicate that Mahmoud Salah decided to give up almost his entire salary during his first year in order to contribute to reaching an agreement with Ghazl El Mahalla, a move that demonstrates his desire to settle his future quickly and join Al Ahly. 🔴✨

The transfer is expected to be officially completed once the player’s release documents arrive from Ghazl El Mahalla, paving the way for his registration in Al Ahly’s squad for the new season.

These developments come at a time when Al Ahly is working to complete its squad ahead of the new campaign, particularly with the coaching staff looking to add new players capable of providing different solutions on the pitch.

Several players delivered strong performances during the match, with Ali Mahmoud opening the scoring before Aqtai Abdullah added the second goal, while Ahmed Sayed Zizo completed Al Ahly’s three-goal victory.

Meanwhile, Soufiane Benjedida missed the chance to score from a penalty during the first half after the Spanish goalkeeper managed to save the attempt.

The victory highlights the importance of friendly matches in preparing players technically and physically before the start of the season, particularly as the coaching staff looks to test as many players as possible and determine the most suitable lineup for official competitions. ⭐⚽
