A source from Egypt's Al Ahly has denied receiving a formal offer from Libyan club Al Ahli Benghazi to sign defender Yasser Ibrahim. Rumors had circulated about Al Ahli Benghazi's interest in signing Ibrahim. Al Ahly are said to be keen on retaining Ibrahim, who is out of contract at the end of the current season, and are waiting for his response to a renewal offer.
According to the source, Al Ahly have not received any offers from Al Ahli Benghazi, and they are counting on Ibrahim to stay with the team for the remainder of the season. The club has offered Ibrahim a new contract, worth 25 million Egyptian pounds per year, plus 10 million pounds tied to achieving certain goals with the team.
Yasser Ibrahim has been sidelined with an injury sustained during a match against Al Mokawloon Al Arab in the Egyptian Premier League. He is currently undergoing physical therapy and rehabilitation after suffering a ligament injury in his ankle. Ibrahim's status for the upcoming match against Zamalek in the league is yet to be determined.
The transfer window in the Libyan league is set to close on October 6, while Ibrahim's contract with Al Ahly expires at the end of the current season. A source close to Ibrahim had previously stated that the player is open to considering offers from other clubs, given that he has not yet reached an agreement with Al Ahly on a new contract.
Al Ahly have reportedly turned down offers from other clubs for Ibrahim, and are unwilling to change their stance on renewing his contract. The club has also rejected offers for Mohamed Hani, another player whose contract is up for renewal. Al Ahly's position on both players is said to be firm, with no willingness to compromise on their demands.
Ibrahim's potential departure from Al Ahly has sparked interest from other clubs, including Saudi Arabian teams. However, Al Ahly are said to be keen on retaining him, and are waiting for his response to their renewal offer. The club's coach is understood to be a big fan of Ibrahim, and sees him as a key player for the team.
Al Ahly are set to face Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier League on October 11, and will be looking to secure a strong result against their arch-rivals. The team will be boosted by the return of several key players from injury, but will have to do without Ibrahim if he is not fit in time. The club's medical team is working hard to get Ibrahim back to full fitness, but his participation in the match is still uncertain.
