Al Ahly Eyes Permanent Sale of Omar El-Saai: A Transfer Saga Heads for Certainty

New Deadline in Omar El-Saai Deal

Mahmoud Al-Khatib, the president of Al Ahly, has asked for a fresh deadline to decide the future of Omar El-Saai, who is on loan to Al Masry.

Inside sources told Kooora that Kamal Abu Ali, president of Al Masry, reached out to Mahmoud Al-Khatib and pressed to activate Omar El-Saai's purchase option definitively.

He added that Al-Khatib requested time to present it to the Danish coach Jes Thorup and to Sayed Abdel Hafiz, a board member and deputy supervisor of football.

Implications and Next Steps

Sources say Al Ahly is inclined to accept Al Masry's offer to sell El-Saai permanently, especially as the Reds seek to sign Hamid Hamdan from Petrojet.

Al Ahly is gearing up to face Enppi tonight, in the Cairo Cup.

Humor note: If this deal sticks, Omar will have a permanent home—finally a lease with an address, not a passport stamp. Sniper joke: This transfer is moving so fast the calendar needs its own transfer window.

Humor note: If it collapses, the press room will host a conference marathon—three excuses and a coffee, end-to-end.
