Ahli insisted that Ghazl Mahalla defender Mahmoud Fathallah and Petrojet's Osama Mohamed will be the latest arrivals in the off-season, club marketing director Adli Al-Qaeyi said on Thursday. The Cairo giants have already signed Railways striker Reda Al-Weeshi, Zamalek midfielder Moetazbellah Eno and recalled their defender Rami Adel, who spent last season on loan with Arab Contractors. Portuguese boss Manuel Jose is content with the new arrivals and is targeting two more signings. "Ahli's football committee held a meeting with Jose to find out his plans for the new season and he said he doesn't need new signings with the exception of Fathallah and Osama, whom he demanded before," Al-Qaeyi told FilGoal.com.
Fathallah (R) could join the African champions "After signing Al-Weeshi and Eno as well as promoting five players from the youth team, there are only three places vacant in our 30-man squad for the new season." Al-Qaeyi has also denied that the Egyptian champions are interested in Rizespor defender Ibrahim Saied and Al-Shabab's Amir Azmi. "As I said before, there will be no signings after Fathallah and Osama. We have already tabled bids for their services and are waiting for replay." "If their clubs refused to offload them we will not make any attempts to find other alternatives," he added.
