Ismaily sets a price tag for Conta amid keeper's injury update
Ismaily's interim board, chaired by Tariq Rashid Rahmi, conditioned any future departure of 18-year-old Mohamed Conta on receiving a substantial offer next month. Conta, who has drawn interest from Al Ahly and the National Bank of Egypt in the upcoming winter window after a standout display, remains without an official bid so far. A club source told Kooora that Conta has yet to receive an official offer, and any proposal will be weighed against Ismaily's plan to preserve his development. In the shadow of a transfer ban, leaving the youngster will require a truly irresistible financial package.

Meanwhile Conta features for Egypt's under-17s, having been called up by coach Wael Riyad, underscoring his growing reputation. On the other hand, club medical chief Majdi El Baz announced that goalkeeper Abdullah Gamal suffered a right shoulder dislocation after the Gouna match in the Capital Cup, a 3-1 defeat. He will be reviewed by a shoulder specialist in Cairo in two days to determine whether surgery is necessary, with the recovery expected to last at least three months.
