Egyptian striker Mohamed Sherif is set to rejoin Al Ahly ahead of next season.
The promising striker joined the Saudi Pro League side Al-Khaleej from Ahly, is now a free agent.
However, after failing to record a win in three games at the FIFA Club World Cup, the 12-time Champions League winners are set to sign the forward.
Former Zamalek star Ahmed Hassan claims Al Ahly are now close to signing two players, including former striker Mohamed Sherif.
“A source at Al Ahly: Negotiations with Mustafa Mohamed have been closed, and we are currently working on signing Osama Faisal or Mohamed Sherif,” Hassan stated on Facebook.
The Egyptian striker recently dispelled rumours of being approached by Zamalek.
“Zamalek has not contacted me; there may be negotiations with my agent, but I do not personally speak with any club,” he said, as per Ysscores.
“This is not true, and usually, we do not discuss the value of the deal at the beginning; rather, the club first learns about the player’s desire, and then the financial compensation is discussed.
“I have a good relationship with Ahmed Hossam Mido, and he developed me a lot when I trained with him at Wadi Degla. As for the claim that Zamalek wants to sign me in response to the Zizo transfer, this is unreasonable, as contracts are made according to the technical needs of each club.
“I have not made my decision about my next destination yet, whether it is returning to Al-Ahly or moving to another club.”
