A reliable source within Al Ahly has unveiled a new chapter in the negotiations with Mohamed Bassam, the goalkeeper for Ceramica Cleopatra.
The talks are part of the ongoing winter transfer window, aimed at compensating for the absence of Mohamed El-Shennawy, who sustained an injury days ago while playing for the Egyptian national team.
El-Shennawy underwent successful shoulder surgery in Germany and is set to be sidelined for at least three months.
Ceramica’s Management Demands Mustafa Shobier in the “Bassam” Deal
Speaking exclusively to “Al Watan Sport,” the source disclosed that Ceramica Cleopatra’s management is steadfast in not parting ways with Mohamed Bassam, considering him the primary goalkeeper.
His departure is contingent on securing a competent replacement.
It was affirmed that Ceramica Cleopatra’s management is determined to acquire Mustafa Shobier.
However, Al Ahly’s administration rejected this proposal and proposed the inclusion of Hamza Alaa in the Mohamed Bassam deal, significantly hindering the transaction in recent hours.
Unexpected Move by Mohamed Bassam Brings Him Closer to Al Ahly
In a surprising and unexpected development, the source clarified that Mohamed Bassam has agreed to all of Al Ahly’s conditions to play for the club and seize the opportunity to defend the Red Castle.
The source added that Mohamed Bassam did not set excessive conditions but rather welcomed negotiations with Al Ahly officials, displaying significant flexibility to join the club of the century during the current winter transfer window.
It was emphasized that the Ceramica Cleopatra goalkeeper has informed his club’s management about the necessity of approving his desire to move to Al Ahly, especially since this opportunity might be his last chance to fulfill his dream.
Given that he is now 33 years old, he might not get another chance, urging Ceramica’s management to grant him the opportunity before it’s too late.
