French media reported that Mostafa Mohamed is about to leave Nantes in the upcoming winter transfer window, with his next destination being the Premier League.
Sporting Director Mohamed Youssef dismissed claims of negotiations with the Nantes forward, saying there has been no contact between the club and the player or his representatives.
“I haven’t met with Mostafa Mohamed or his agent since I assumed my position at Ahly, and I have never held talks with him,” Youssef told Ahly TV late Wednesday.
“There has been no communication whatsoever. Everything being said about this matter is incorrect,” he added.
Youssef took over as sporting director in April 2025 and oversees key responsibilities related to Ahly’s first team, including recruitment and transfers.
Mohamed, 27, is under contract with Ligue 1 side Nantes until June 2027. He is currently participating in the club’s pre-season camp and scored twice in a 2-0 friendly win over Stade Lavallois earlier this week.
The former Zamalek striker was been linked with a move to Ahly to replace the departing Wessam Abou Ali who is trying to force his move away from the Cairo giants.
Several Egyptian and French reports have claimed the talks between both sides over the past few weeks.
Ahly, record CAF Champions League winners, are preparing for the upcoming 2025–26 season, aiming to bolster their squad after a busy summer window.
