Jess Thorup has asked Al Ahly's management that Aliou Dieng not be allowed to leave during the next transfer window and is opposed to the midfielder's departure this winter. Negotiations between Al Ahly and the player are not progressing. The club offered Dieng a contract extension with an annual salary between 1.5 and 1.8 million dollars, but the player demands at least 2.5 million dollars, an amount considered incompatible with the club's current salary policy. This divergence is leading the management to consider a sale this winter, particularly because his contract expires at the end of the season.

Al Wakrah SC is interested in Aliou Dieng.

Al Qadsiah has made an official offer of $650,000 to Al Ahly for Aliou Dieng. The club's management views this amount as insufficient and is considering requesting an amount one million dollars higher than Al Qadsiah's offer. This is to secure a financial gain and prevent the player from leaving for free next summer. Al Ahly is giving more serious consideration to selling the player before his contract expires at the end of the season. The club finds Dieng's salary demands to be excessive, which supports the possibility of a transfer during the winter transfer window.

According to Africafoot, Aliou Dieng has reportedly refused to extend his contract and has expressed a desire to leave Cairo in the next transfer window to pursue a new opportunity, probably in the Gulf.
