FC Nordsjælland have reportedly ended their pursuit of Al Ahly goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir after their proposed financial package was rejected.
The Danish Superliga side explored a move through Shobeir’s representatives but did not return with an improved proposal after Al Ahly made clear that they intended to keep the 26-year-old.
The Cairo giants rejected Nordsjælland’s approach because of the low financial terms. The proposal is said to have been between approximately $500,000 and $600,000.
The goalkeeper’s current contract expires in June 2027, leaving him able to negotiate with other clubs from January if he does not renew.
Al Ahly has offered him a three-year contract extension and is awaiting his response. The club also plans to increase his salary after his development into the first-choice goalkeeper.
Shobeir also recently appointed the UK-based agency CAA Base as his new representatives.
Nordsjælland had exercised their purchase option in May for Ibrahim Adel after a brief loan spell, with the winger signing a permanent contract until June 2029.
Nordsjælland football director Alexander Riget said the transfer strengthened the club’s relationship with Egyptian football and its Right to Dream academy in Egypt.
Shobeir, for now, remains with Al Ahly unless another club submits an offer that meets their valuation before the transfer window closes.
