Al-Ahly shuts down Ali Alwan talk: no deal in sight after Arab Cup spotlight

Update on Ali Alwan Rumors

A source in the Egyptian club's football department confirmed that Al Ahly has not entered negotiations to sign Ali Alwan, the Jordanian striker from Karama SC, after his eye-catching show at the Arab Cup in Doha.

Press reports in the past hours claimed Alwan was on the club's transfer radar for the winter window.

An official told Kooora that what has been circulated is not true.

The agent allegedly offered the player to the management, and the matter was referred to the Danish coach Yis Torup, who would pick from several names.

The agent had contacted the player to gauge his interest, but no official contact has taken place yet.

Officials stressed Alwan is a good, talented player, but no formal negotiations have been launched.

The club continues to evaluate options ahead of any decision.

Punchline 1: If transfer gossip counted as goals, this window would be Olympic-caliber.

Punchline 2: And yes, even coach Torup needs a map to find these rumors.
