Egypt midfielder Hosni Abd-Rabou has called on Ismaily to accept a loan offer from Saudi side Ittihad Jeddah or he will return to the club, forcing it to pay his LE5 million annual wages.

Ittihad Jeddah have tabled a 1.5 million Euro offer with Ismaily — including the player's share — to sign him on a season-long loan, but Ismaily have asked for two million euros, according to the Saudi newspaper Al-Madena.

The 27-year-old joined the Saudi giants in January on a six-month loan deal and has produced a string of strong performances.

Abd-Rabou has told Ismaily that if they refused to extend his loan deal he will return to the club and he will not play for another team, meaning the club would have to pay his LE5 million annual wages.
