Hosni Abd-Rabou's loan deal with Ismaili will turn into a permanent one after the club pay 500,000 Euros to French side Strasbourg, the Dervishes president Yehia Al-Koumi said on Saturday. Reports linked Abd-Rabou with a move to either Ahli or Zamalek, claiming that Ismaili won't be capable of paying the money. However, Al-Koumi revealed that he reached an agreement with Strasbourg president to strike a permanent deal that will see the Egypt international midfielder stay at Ismaili for two more seasons. "The 500,000 Euros will be paid to Strasbourg today. The matter is closed," Al-Koumi told FilGoal.com. "We tried to pay the money on installments but the French side didn't accept because they need funds after their promotion to the French Ligue 1." Strasbourg, whom Egyptian left-back Ahmed Abou-Mosallam plays for, regained their top-flight status after finishing third in French Ligue 2.
