Al Ahly signs Imam secures Ashour extension amid Ittihad talks and Attia with contract extensions
Mid‑July 2026 Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad offered a $6 million bid and a $4 million annual salary to acquire Egyptian midfielder Imam Ashour from Al Ahly. Al Ahly rejected the proposal, deeming it undervalued, and later set a firm $10 million release fee. Al Ittihad responded with an $8 million offer split into $6 million in January and $4 million in March, a structure Al Ahly opposed, leaving negotiations stalled as of July 30. A Turkish club, Konya Spor, expressed informal interest with a $3‑$3.5 $3-$3.5 million offer, which Al Ahly dismissed, insisting any move must involve a formal, suitably valued proposal. Meanwhile, Al Ahly moved forward with a contract renewal for Ashour. On 1 August, the midfielder signed a new three‑year deal worth a net 30 million Egyptian pounds per season, plus variable clauses up to 10 million pounds and a commercial component that could match his wage. The club also extended winger Mohamed Abdullah’s contract, rejecting external offers, as part of a broader strategy to retain key talent ahead of upcoming fixtures. By late August, Al Ahly further solidified its midfield by extending the contracts of both Imam Ashour and Marwan Attia until 2030. Following speculation regarding potential moves to Turkey and Saudi Arabia, Ashour’s extension was announced after his absence from the club’s opening Egyptian Premier League match. Attia’s revised agreement includes an annual salary increase from EGP 13 million to EGP 20 million, with performance bonuses potentially raising total annual earnings to approximately EGP 30 million.
