Egyptian Emam Ashour Set to Stay at Al Ahly Despite Transfer Speculation

Al Ahly midfielder Emam Ashour is not expected to leave the club during the upcoming summer transfer window, despite growing rumors linking him with a potential move abroad—particularly to Saudi Arabia.

According to Yallakora, no official bids have been submitted for the 27-year-old Egyptian international, though internal sources at the club acknowledge the possibility of informal contacts from interested clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

A Stellar Season for the Red Devils

The former Zamalek standout has been one of the brightest stars in the Egyptian Premier League this season, delivering an impressive stat line:

• 36 appearances across all competitions
• 17 goals
• 9 assists

Ashour’s influence in midfield has made him a fan favorite and a critical piece of Marcel Koller’s squad, boosting his market value to €3.5 million, according to Transfermarkt.

Club World Cup the Focus

With Al Ahly’s participation in the FIFA Club World Cup fast approaching—the tournament kicks off in the United States on June 14—the club has put all transfer discussions on hold until their continental and international duties conclude.

"The focus right now is on preparing for the Club World Cup. No departures will be finalized before then," a club insider told Yallakora.

Verdict: Ashour Staying (for now)

While future interest—especially from the Gulf—is likely, Emam Ashour remains fully committed to Al Ahly’s current objectives. His departure is not on the table, at least until the summer showdown in America is over.
