Imam Ashour, the midfielder for Al-Ahly Club and the Egyptian national team, delivered a strong shock to his club's management after the end of his journey with the Pharaohs in the World Cup, due to his fate with the team.
In the past few hours, a meeting took place between Imam Ashour and Al-Ahly club officials to finalize the extension of his contract and increase his salary.
Modern TV reported that Al-Ahly offered Imam Ashour a contract worth 35 million Egyptian pounds per season, including salary and bonuses.
The channel explained: "Imam Ashour rejected this offer outright," which caused shock among the management of the Red Club.
According to the channel, Imam Ashour requested a discussion about offers for his departure, as the player received tempting offers amounting to 3 times the salary he would receive with Al-Ahly, and the player insists on leaving and not completing his journey with Al-Ahly.
She concluded: "Imam has offers from English, Gulf and American clubs and has asked to discuss them with his agent."
Imam Ashour, the star midfielder of the Egyptian national team, delivered impressive performances in the 2026 World Cup, scoring two goals against Belgium and Australia, becoming the first Egyptian player to score in the knockout stages and leading the team to the round of 16.
