Ahli will not be following their pursuit of Hilal striker Edward Sadomba after he reportedly decided to join Merreikh. Despite declaring that he is a top priority this winter, Ahli seem to have removed the Zimbabwe international from their shortlist. “We have decided to end our pursuit to Sadomba because the whole thing had turned into a bargain," Ahli marketing manager Magdi Tolba said. “I think Ahli is above all this. The club's name helped him increase his popularity and eventually he is close to get what he wants by joining Merreikh." Ahli continue their persistent search for a non-Egyptian striker this winter as Mauritanian Dominique da Silva is on the verge of leaving while Ivorian Oussou Konan was loaned out.
