Moheb Abdelhady Hints at Omar El Saay’s Departure from Al Ahly... Is the Decision Near?
Omar El Saay’s situation sparks controversy at Al Ahly — the young player wants to leave, and the coach recommends his departure due to limited playing opportunities.
This comes amid consistent reports suggesting that Jose Ribeiro, Al Ahly’s head coach, has expressed a clear opinion on the matter. After reviewing technical and physical assessments, Ribeiro reportedly recommended that El Saay not be part of the first team next season, paving the way for his departure during the upcoming summer transfer window.
In parallel, sports journalist Mohamed Farouk revealed that Omar El Saay himself is eager to leave — either through a permanent transfer or on loan — as he feels he hasn’t been given enough opportunities to prove himself with the first team.
According to Farouk, El Saay has already spoken with Mohamed Shawky, assistant sporting director at Al Ahly, seeking approval for a potential loan move in hopes of gaining consistent playing time and regaining his form elsewhere.
El Saay, considered one of the most promising prospects from Al Ahly’s youth academy, now faces a significant challenge. With increasing competition and limited chances in the senior squad, a new experience outside the club might be his best shot at developing and showcasing his abilities.
While fans remain divided — some advocating for his retention and development within the club, others supporting a loan move to ease pressure and foster growth — the final decision lies with the coaching staff and management, as part of Al Ahly’s broader plan to restructure the squad ahead of the upcoming season.
