ENPPI have agreed to sell Egypt striker Ahmed Abdul-Zaher to Ahli, according to football director Hussein Amin.
“The board and management have accepted Ahli’s offer for Abdul-Zaher even though we hoped he would stay,” the ENPPI official said that.
“We saw that Abdul-Zaher is keen to complete the deal and so we decided not to stand in his way.”
It is believed that Ahli, who have yet to comment on the issue, are offering EGP 3.5million for the services of the prolific striker.
He finished the 2010-2011 season as the Egyptian Premier League joint-top scorer with 13 goals.
The 27-year-old was capped nine times by Egypt, scoring two international goals so far.
