Al Ahly football committee have stepped up their interest in signing Haras El-Hodoud hitman Ahmed Eid Abdel-Malak next summer after the player revealed on Wednesday he would like to join the Cairo giants.
�We welcome Abdel-Malek�s interest to join our team, as he is a talented player who could book his place in the starting eleven quickly,� Ahly Football Executive Director Hadi Khashaba was quoted as saying on the club�s official website.
Ahly tried to sign Abdel-Malek several times before but the military club refused to offload the star.
�We negotiated with Haras El-Hodoud to sign Abdel-Malek last season but they refused to release him,� Khashaba explained.
The 30-year-old forward revealed that he is eager to play for Ahly next season during a telephone call on the team�s channel.
�I am eager to wear the red jersey next season and I can save a regular place in the team�s squad in a short time,� he told the Ahly channel.
The Pharaohs attacker�s contract with El-Hodoud expires at the end of the current season.
�I reached an agreement with El-Hodoud officials not to extend my stay with the team,� he added.
