Ahli have initially agreed to let their Algerian youngster Amir Sayoud seal a move to Belgian second division side SK Lierse. The 19-year-old claimed that he had received death threats from some of his club's players and fans, in the wake of the horrible events that followed Egypt's 1-0 loss to Algeria in last week's World Cup playoff game. The Algerian starlet, who is very concerned for his welfare, has every intention of calling his contract with Ahli null and void to leave Egypt, and it seems that he will be out of the country soon. "Lierse has made an offer for Sayoud a while back, and Ahli's football committee has accepted it," football director Hadi Khashaba told FilGoal.com. Around half a dozen Egyptian players ply their trade at the Belgian outfit, including Mohamed Abdul-Wahed and Ahmed Samir. The club is owned by Egyptian businessman Maged Sami. Many Egyptian fans were severely injured after the World Cup decider when thousands of Algerians ruthlessly chased them in the streets of Sudan with knives, daggers and blades. Afterwards, Egyptian protesters staged aggressive demonstrations near the Algerian embassy in Egypt, calling for its officials' departure. With tensions mounting, the Egyptian-based Algerians are believed to be seriously threatened, Sayoud including. The former ES Setif man made a competitive debut to remember with Ahli in September, and was highly praised by pundits and fans alike.
