Al Ahly have not received any formal transfer offers for players who represented Egypt at the World Cup, according to a club source, despite continued speculation linking several members of the squad with potential moves.
The source told Kora Plus that interest from other clubs has so far been limited to enquiries and expressions of interest, with no official negotiations or written offers submitted to the Egyptian club.
The comments come as Al Ahly continue preparations for the new season while seeking to preserve the core of a squad that contributed to both domestic success and Egypt’s recent World Cup campaign.
According to the source, maintaining stability within the playing group remains one of the club’s principal objectives, with attention currently focused on contract renewals rather than player departures.
Interest has not progressed beyond enquiries
Recent reports have linked several Al Ahly players who featured for Egypt at the World Cup with possible transfers following their performances on the international stage.
However, the club source dismissed suggestions that negotiations are under way, stating that no official proposals have reached the club.
Instead, any contact from interested clubs has remained at a preliminary stage, consisting only of informal enquiries without formal correspondence or discussions over transfer terms.
That position suggests Al Ahly are not currently facing immediate decisions regarding the sale of players who enhanced their reputations during Egypt’s World Cup campaign.
The absence of formal bids also allows the club to continue planning for the new season without the uncertainty that often accompanies high-profile transfer negotiations.
Spain training camp expected to reflect next season’s squad
The source also indicated that the squad selected for Al Ahly’s upcoming training camp in Spain is expected to closely resemble the group that will compete throughout the forthcoming campaign.
According to the club’s current plans, there is unlikely to be significant change to the core of the first-team squad before the season begins.
That approach reflects Al Ahly’s intention to build on an established foundation rather than undertake widespread changes during the summer transfer window.
Retaining the team’s principal players is viewed as an important factor in preserving continuity ahead of domestic and continental competitions.
By entering pre-season with a largely settled squad, the coaching staff will have an opportunity to focus on tactical preparation instead of adapting to extensive personnel changes.
Contract renewals become the club’s immediate priority
While transfer speculation continues, Al Ahly’s management is concentrating on securing the long-term futures of several key players.
According to the source, renewing existing contracts has become the club’s highest priority during the current period.
The immediate focus is on completing new agreements for goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir and midfielder Emam Ashour, two players regarded as important members of both the club and the Egyptian national team.
Once those negotiations have been concluded, attention is expected to shift towards improving the financial terms of Mohamed Hany and Marwan Attia.
The source said the planned salary adjustments would recognise the pair’s contributions to Al Ahly, their standing within the squad and their involvement with the Egypt national team.
Stability at the centre of Al Ahly’s plans
The club’s latest position indicates that Al Ahly are prioritising continuity ahead of the new campaign despite ongoing transfer rumours surrounding several players.
Rather than responding to speculation over possible departures, the club’s leadership appears focused on strengthening its position by securing the futures of established first-team members.
With no official transfer offers currently on the table, Al Ahly are able to proceed with preparations for the Spain training camp while continuing discussions over new contracts for key players.
Whether interest from other clubs develops into formal bids later in the transfer window remains to be seen. For now, however, the club insists that no official offers have been received for any player who represented Egypt at the World Cup, leaving contract renewals and squad stability as the immediate priorities before the start of the new season.
