Al Ahly SC has maintained a policy of retaining key squad members despite multiple transfer offers during the summer window. The club initially rejected an official bid from Italian side Como 1907 for goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir, stating his departure was “impossible” due to the team’s requirements. Following strong performances in the 2026 World Cup, the club’s refusal to sell core talent expanded to include midfielder Emam Ashour, after declining a $4.5 million bid from Turkish club Konyaspor. While management expressed openness to the departures of players such as Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane and Mahmoud Trezeguet to secure financial gains, the club remains committed to its primary stars. Former player Samir Kamouna noted that Ashour’s rising stardom has brought increased scrutiny, but emphasized his continued value to the team. In a move to To solidify its defense, Al Ahly officially announced a contract extension for Mostafa Shobeir, securing the 26-year-old goalkeeper until 2029. Shobeir, a product of the club’s youth ranks, gained significant international attention during the 2026 World Cup for his performance in helping Egypt reach the Round of 16, specifically for saving penalties against Iran’s Mehdi Taremi and Argentina’s Lionel Messi. Media personality Ahmed Shobeir noted that while negotiations for the renewal experienced delays due to training camps and match schedules, the decision to retain the player was certain. Shobeir expressed happiness to remain with the club and denied rumors of current offers to leave. However, Al Ahly management is proactively monitoring other goalkeepers, such as Mohamed Shaaban and Mohamed Alaa, to prepare for future scenarios, including the possibility of Shobeir pursuing professional opportunities abroad after the current season.
