Al Ahly had previously considered transferring several key players, including Emam Ashour, as part of a strategy to reorganize the squad and reduce salary burdens. However, following Emam Ashour's performance against Zamalek SC, the club's management now prefers for the player to remain. While Al Ahly remains open to studying potential foreign offers, there is no immediate intention to transfer him, and any proposal must meet specific sporting and financial criteria. The situation has evolved, with Ashour showing significant flexibility regarding his initial salary demands. It has been reported that his father, who also serves as his manager, has confirmed to the management that Ashour is willing to extend his contract under the club's conditions.

According to Africafoot, the management of the Egyptian club Al Ahly is open to a possible departure for Emam Ashour during upcoming transfer periods. A senior source within the club reports that a meeting was recently held between Al Ahly officials and Emam Ashour, during which the management expressed its agreement in principle to allow him to seek a professional experience abroad, subject to firm financial conditions. The same source indicated that Al Ahly would not be willing to consider any offer below 12 million dollars. It was specified that the management does not intend to let Emam Ashour go before the 2026 World Cup, while still leaving the possibility of a departure as early as the summer transfer window if a suitable offer is presented. Africafoot also mentioned that a few weeks ago, a Saudi club made an offer to Al Ahly for the player, which Africafoot described as lucrative.

Africafoot reports that the American club New York Red Bulls has officially submitted an offer to Al Ahly SC to acquire Emam Ashour. The offer is for a six-month loan valued at 1.5 million dollars, with a purchase option set at 5 million dollars. This proposal was presented to the management of the Cairo club by the Belgian agent Jacob, who was also involved in the transfer of Wessam Abou Ali to Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer. Emam Ashour and his agent, Adam Watani, have given their agreement in principle to this move. In addition to the sporting opportunity that MLS presents, the 27-year-old Egyptian player could receive several contractual advantages, which include the possibility of obtaining American citizenship in the case of a permanent transfer. Ashour, who is currently used as a forward at the Egyptian club, is generating growing interest on the international market. His contract with Al Ahly is valid until June 30, 2028. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4.00m. Al Ahly must now decide on the offer.
