The renewal of Imam Ashour’s contract, the star midfielder of Al Ahly and the Egyptian national team, has become a top priority for the club’s management at the moment. This comes at the direct request of head coach Al-Hussein Amouta, who sees the player’s continued presence as a fundamental pillar for the team’s upcoming project.
Al Ahly’s management is working hard to prepare a lucrative financial offer, the highest within the new salary category inside the Red Castle, to ensure Ashour’s continuity. Press reports indicate that the total value of the new contract ranges between 40 and 45 million Egyptian pounds, in addition to an annual salary of up to 30 million Egyptian pounds, plus additional benefits that reflect his status as one of the top players.
This swift move comes after Imam Ashour’s remarkable performance with the Pharaohs in the last USA, Canada, and Mexico World Cup, where he played a prominent role in leading the Egyptian team to the Round of 16. Despite the team’s dramatic 3-2 loss to Argentina, after the Pharaohs had been leading by two goals, Ashour’s impact was clear and widely praised.
Al Ahly’s pursuit to renew Imam Ashour’s contract confirms the player’s importance in Amouta’s future plans and reflects the club’s dedication to retaining its most prominent stars who deliver outstanding performances both locally and internationally. It is expected that official announcements about the new contract details will be made in the coming days to close the door on any speculation about the World Cup star’s future.
