Algerian club USM Alger have submitted an improved offer worth $600,000 to sign Egyptian striker Salah Mohsen during the current summer transfer window.
Officials from the Egyptian club have received the formal proposal as USM Alger continue their efforts to secure the forward’s services before the start of the new season.
A source told Kora Plus that the Algerian side increased their bid after their initial attempt to sign Mohsen was rejected.
USM Alger had previously offered $400,000 for the striker, but the proposal was turned down by the Egyptian club’s management, prompting the Algerian team to return with an improved financial package.
The latest offer, valued at $600,000, is now being considered, with USM Alger waiting for an official response in order to move negotiations forward and potentially complete the transfer in the coming days.
The Algerian club’s decision to increase their bid reflects their desire to reach an agreement for the Egyptian forward, who has become a target during the ongoing transfer window.
According to the source, USM Alger officials believe the revised offer could convince the Egyptian club to approve the move after the previous proposal failed to meet their expectations.
The two clubs are now at the stage of discussing the financial details, with the Algerian side hoping a deal can be finalised soon.
Mohsen’s possible departure comes as clubs across the region continue to strengthen their squads ahead of the new campaign.
The striker has experience playing at the highest level in Egyptian football and has represented major clubs during his career, making him an attractive option for USM Alger as they look to improve their attacking options.
For USM Alger, securing a proven forward is a priority as they prepare for the challenges ahead, while the Egyptian club must decide whether the improved financial offer matches their valuation of the player.
The Algerian side’s first bid of $400,000 was rejected, but the increased proposal represents a significant attempt to find common ground between both parties.
The coming hours are expected to be important, with USM Alger awaiting the Egyptian club’s decision on whether to accept the new offer or continue negotiations over the striker’s future.
If an agreement is reached, Mohsen would begin a new chapter outside Egyptian football and join a club looking to compete strongly in domestic and continental competitions.
However, the final outcome depends on the response from the Egyptian club’s management, who must now assess whether the $600,000 offer is sufficient to allow the striker to leave during the summer transfer window.
For now, USM Alger remain hopeful that their improved proposal will bring the negotiations to a successful conclusion after their earlier attempt was rejected.
