Ahly deny pursuing Mostafa Mohamed - Egyptian Football
Sporting Director Mohamed Youssef dismissed claims of negotiations with the Nantes forward, saying there has been no contact between the club and the player or his representatives.
'I haven't met with Mostafa Mohamed or his agent since I assumed my position at Ahly, and I have never held talks with him,' Youssef told Ahly TV late Wednesday.
'There has been no communication whatsoever. Everything being said about this matter is incorrect,' he added.
Youssef took over as sporting director in April 2025 and oversees key responsibilities related to Ahly's first team, including recruitment and transfers.
Mohamed, 27, is under contract with Ligue 1 side Nantes until June 2027. He is currently participating in the club's pre-season camp and scored twice in a 2-0 friendly win over Stade Lavallois earlier this week.
The former Zamalek striker was been linked with a move to Ahly to replace the departing Wessam Abou Ali who is trying to force his move away from the Cairo giants.
Several Egyptian and French reports have claimed the talks between both sides over the past few weeks.
Ahly, record CAF Champions League winners, are preparing for the upcoming 2025–26 season, aiming to bolster their squad after a busy summer window.

Michel Platini scares off burglar at his French villa - World
Football legend Michel Platini disturbed a burglar at his villa in the south of France on Friday, a source close to the police investigation told AFP. Platini, 70, heard a noise in the garden of the property in Cassis early in the morning and came face to face with a man in a black mask, who fled with several trophies and medals, the source said. Platini played 72 times for France and won the Ballon d'Or award for the world's top player three years in a row from 1983 to 1985. He led France to the semi-finals of the 1982 and 1986 World Cup. He was UEFA president from 2007 to 2016 and later became embroiled in a financial scandal involving then-FIFA president Sepp Blatter, but was acquitted in March this year.
