Yasser Ibrahim has agreed to a contract extension with Al Ahly, ensuring the experienced defender remains with the Egyptian giants until the summer of 2027.
With his previous deal set to expire on June 30, the 32-year-old centre-back had faced uncertainty over his future.
However, sources close to the club have confirmed that Ibrahim and Al Ahly have come to terms on a two-year renewal, securing his place at the club for what could be the final chapter of his professional career.
The agreement brings stability to both parties, allowing Ibrahim to continue contributing to one of Africa’s most decorated clubs.
It also marks a show of faith from the Red Devils, who have opted to keep the veteran defender on board despite recent injury struggles.
Currently sidelined with a hamstring issue, Ibrahim has made 18 appearances in all competitions this season under head coach Marcel Koller.
His experience and presence in the back line have been instrumental in key domestic and continental fixtures, even as the club navigates rotation and injuries.
While the renewal is a clear indication of Al Ahly’s confidence in Ibrahim, the deal does not rule out a potential move away in the near future.
Club officials are reportedly open to the idea of loaning out the centre-back should a suitable offer arrive.
That flexibility is viewed as a gesture of respect for Ibrahim’s longstanding commitment to the Cairo-based side.
By agreeing not to stand in his way should new opportunities present themselves, Al Ahly have reinforced the positive relationship they maintain with one of their senior figures.
It reflects the club’s willingness to support his aspirations, while also preserving the depth and stability of their defensive unit.
Ibrahim’s renewal comes at a time when Al Ahly continue to compete on multiple fronts, including the Egyptian Premier League and CAF Champions League.
His experience, leadership, and tactical understanding remain valuable assets as the team chases silverware this season and beyond.
As the formalities of the contract extension are finalized, all eyes will be on whether the next chapter in Ibrahim’s career continues at Al Ahly or briefly diverges through a loan spell abroad.
For now, the centre-back’s future remains firmly rooted in the red of Egypt’s most successful club.
