Mostafa Mohamed Rejects Saudi Move Amidst Wolves and Marseille Interest
Summary
Mostafa Mohamed, the 24-year-old Egyptian striker, has reportedly rejected a move to Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli, despite the club offering a lucrative contract. Mohamed is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Egyptian club Zamalek, and has attracted interest from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers and French club Marseille.
Background on Mohamed
Mohamed emerged as one of the brightest talents in Egyptian football during his time at Zamalek, scoring 40 goals in 78 appearances. He joined Galatasaray on loan in January 2022, and has impressed with his performances, scoring 9 goals in 20 appearances.
Rejection of Saudi Move
According to reports, Al Ahli offered Mohamed a contract worth £3 million per year, but the player has turned it down. The reasons for his decision are unclear, but it is believed that he is keen on securing a move to a more competitive league in Europe.
Interest from Wolves and Marseille
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Marseille are both reportedly interested in signing Mohamed. Wolves are in need of attacking reinforcements after a disappointing season in the Premier League, while Marseille are looking to bolster their squad ahead of their Champions League campaign next season.
Future Prospects
It remains to be seen where Mohamed's future lies. He has one year remaining on his contract with Galatasaray, but it is possible that he could leave the club this summer if a suitable offer is made. Wolves and Marseille are likely to continue to monitor his situation, and could make a move for him if he becomes available.
