FIFA have sent a letter to the Egyptian FA stating that Ismaili have the right to own the ITC of Hosni Abd-Rabou. The FIFA message was intended to end the infamous transfer saga after Ismaili reached a friendly agreement with French side Strasbourg. Strasbourg agreed to pull out of the case after the Dervishes paid Abd-Rabou's transfer fees (a total of €800,000) in full.
The original copy of the FIFA letter Ismaili, who fought hard in order to keep Abd-Rabou under their command, are admittedly set to sell the 25-year-old to Ahli Dubai of UAE for 2M Euros. However, the complicated case is far from being over as Egyptian champions Ahli are still involved thanks to their four-year contract tie with the international midfielder. The Reds are yet to respond to FIFA's latest ruling though, but vowed not to give up on their legal rights.
