The future of Imam Ashour, the star of Al-Ahly and the Egyptian national team, has become the subject of widespread controversy after his outstanding performance in the 2026 World Cup currently being held.
Offers from the English Premier League: 5 clubs vying for Emam Ashour
Ashour scored two goals for the Egyptian national team during his participation in the World Cup, after scoring against Belgium in the group stage and against Australia in the round of 32.
The British website "TeamTalk" reported on the interest of Scottish club Celtic and English clubs West Ham United and Derby County in signing the player
The English website stated, through its sources, that there is strong competition to sign Ashour, who wants to join a team that will give him the opportunity to participate in the Champions League next season, which gives the Scottish club an advantage over all its competitors to finalize the deal
Al-Ahly, for its part, is expecting fierce competition to sign Ashour, as English club Brighton also wants the player, along with Saudi club Neom.
According to the English report, Neom will present an attractive financial offer to the Egyptian international, which may be the highest financially compared to the British offers.
Although Ashour usually plays as an attacking midfielder, Hossam Hassan, the coach of the Egyptian national team, deployed him in the winger position during the 2026 World Cup, revealing new possibilities for him.
According to the report, the transfer fee could reach £4 million, equivalent to €4.69 million.
The Egyptian international's market value is 4 million euros according to the global website "Transfermarkt" and his contract ends in the summer of 2028
