Hosni Abd-Rabou's brother is hoping the Strasbourg-bound man will stay with Ismaili to avoid any furious reaction from the Dervishes fans. Abd-Rabou is in the middle of a tug of war between Ismaili and Strasbourg as both teams claim that they own the player. Strasbourg, who insist Ismaili have missed the deadline to pay their dues to turn Abd-Rabou's loan deal into a permanent one, announced that the Egypt midfielder has been sold to Ahli. The announcement has infuriated Ismaili fans, who cannot bear their favorite man's move to rivals Ahli. "Staying at Ismaili will be in Hosni's best interest and will be beneficial to his family," Tarek Abd-Rabou told FilGoal.com on Wednesday. "I hope the officials can interfere and resolve this matter. I want also Ismaili chairman Yehia Al-Koumi to completely pull out of his issue." Tarek believes Al-Koumi has cause uproar by his previous assertion that the 500,000 euros were paid to Strasbourg on time. The player's destination is set to be decided by world governing body FIFA, who are currently holding their investigations.
