Al Ahly 2026–27 season and squad transitions

Overview

Al Ahly has commenced its 2026–27 Egyptian Premier League campaign under Moroccan manager Hussein Ammouta, following a pre-season training camp in Spain and a historic appearance at the Joan Gamper Trophy at Spotify Camp Nou. The summer transfer window saw the departure of Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet and Alieu Diang, replaced by a squad featuring five foreign players and several academy talents.

Internal management is navigating complex contract negotiations and medical concerns. Negotiations with Mohamed Hany and Yasser Ibrahim have reportedly stalled; both players are seeking contracts valued at 35 million EGP, while the club has offered 25 million EGP plus 10 million EGP in incentives. Hany continues to request the removal of participation-based clauses. Regarding Yasser Ibrahim, while the club has offered a renewal to retain him, his future remains uncertain as his contract nears its end. Despite rumors of interest from Al Ain FC or Al Ahly Benghazi, no final decision has been made.

Additionally, club officials face conflicting information regarding the potential sale of Mostafa Ibrahim from Al Ittihad Alexandria.

Regarding player health, Yasser Ibrahim is in the final stages of rehabilitation for ankle ligament injuries. Midfielder Karim El Debess is currently in the second stage of recovery for an adductor muscle strain, while Ali Mahmoud has returned to full training. The club is managing a dense schedule, including a Capital Cup match against Petroleum Assiut on October 7, a derby against Zamalek on October 11, and an upcoming African Confederation Cup trip to face Kitara in Uganda.
