Al Ahly Introduce a Unified System for Player Contract Renewals 🦅

Mohamed Fares explained that Al Ahly have decided to handle contract renewals according to clear and unified financial rules rather than allowing negotiations to be shaped by each player’s personal valuation or individual circumstances.

He pointed out that players naturally have different expectations, but Al Ahly believe maintaining a clear internal structure is essential, particularly with several players entering contract renewal discussions.

📢 Emam Ashour Believed He Was Egypt’s Best Player

Fares discussed several situations that illustrate the differences in players’ perspectives, explaining that Emam Ashour believed he was the best player in Egypt and therefore felt his contract should reflect that status and his importance to the team.

He explained that such personal calculations can differ from one player to another, which encouraged Al Ahly to establish fixed rules for contracts and renewals instead of negotiating each case solely according to individual demands.

⭐ Marwan Attia and Mostafa Shobeir Had Different Calculations

Mohamed Fares added that Marwan Attia believed his previous contract did not adequately reflect his level and had his own expectations regarding the value of his new deal.

Meanwhile, he said Mostafa Shobeir believed he had an offer from the Italian league and could have signed for another club in January before leaving Al Ahly as a free agent at the end of the season.

According to Fares, these cases demonstrate how different players can have very different calculations when entering contract negotiations, prompting Al Ahly to adopt a more consistent approach.

💰 Hany and Yasser Ibrahim Face Different Circumstances

Fares also discussed the situation of Mohamed Hany, explaining that the player believes his next contract could be his final one with Al Ahly and therefore has a specific figure in mind when considering his future.

As for Yasser Ibrahim, Fares said the defender had an opportunity to move to the Saudi league for what he described as a “huge” salary, making his financial position during negotiations different.

Despite the different circumstances surrounding Hany and Yasser Ibrahim, Al Ahly believe their contract renewals should still be handled according to the same policy applied to the rest of the squad.

🔥 Fixed Salary and Unified Incentives

Mohamed Fares stressed that Al Ahly made an early decision to move away from individual considerations and establish a fixed financial figure for contracts, along with unified incentives and a single signing bonus.

He explained that advertising percentages are treated separately and fall under the responsibility of the football company, creating a clear distinction between salaries and incentives on one side and commercial rights on the other.

🦅 Al Ahly Rejects Special Exceptions

Fares stressed that Al Ahly had previously refused to include exceptional conditions in the contracts of Emam Ashour, Mostafa Shobeir and Marwan Attia, meaning the same policy should naturally apply to Yasser Ibrahim and Mohamed Hany.

He concluded by emphasizing that the club is committed to its financial system and that players who are comfortable with those terms will be welcome to continue, signaling that Al Ahly do not want individual demands to undermine the club’s overall contract policy.
