Renewal Talks Hit a Snag
Malian midfielder Aly Dieng has again rejected Al Ahly's proposal to renew his contract, which runs out at the end of the current season.
Al Ahly’s trusted source told Kooora that the club asked Dieng to decide on the renewal, offering $1.25 million per year plus an advertising deal whose value remains undecided.
Dieng formally told Al Ahly officials through his agent that he wants to stay, but only if his pay is at least $1.8 million.
The same source noted the midfielder remains firm on his salary, while the club would prefer not to increase the figure.
He added that a final attempt would be made by management in the days ahead; if Dieng sticks to his stance, the club could sell his contract.
What Could Happen Next
Despite these talks, the decision now rests on whether Dieng softens or remains firm, and whether Al Ahly chooses to keep or cash in on the player.
Humor time: If wage talks were a sniper drill, Dieng would be hitting the target—just not the club’s budget.
Punchline time: If patience paid, Dieng would already be a billionaire; alas, the salary grade is still on the practice range.
