Turkish press reports have revealed new developments regarding the future of Egyptian striker Mostafa Mohamed, who has come close in recent hours to leaving Nantes to return to the Turkish league.
Mostafa Mohamed's fate is linked to that of Blaž Kramer, Konyaspor's striker, as the Egyptian player's move to the Turkish club depends on the departure of their Slovenian forward.
According to the Turkish outlet "tv42haber," Kramer is attracting interest from Slovenian club Celje, which is preparing to submit an official offer to Konyaspor soon.

These negotiations are set to determine Kramer's future; he is currently under contract with Konyaspor after requesting the club's management sign a new three-year deal with a higher salary.
Kramer is considering leaving Konyaspor if the club's management does not meet his demands, which they view as requesting an excessively high salary. The two parties are expected to hold another meeting within the next two days.
Konyaspor's management has prepared an alternative option in case Kramer departs, as reports indicate the club will sign Mostafa Mohamed if he leaves, following a near-final agreement with both the Egyptian player and Nantes to secure his services.
Konyaspor plans to finalize the signing of the Egyptian striker before the end of the week, after he fell out of his current team's calculations due to failing to report on time for the start of pre-season training.
Citing reports from the Turkish outlet "Yeni Meram," Konyaspor has not yet finalized Mostafa Mohamed's deal, and there is currently no agreement regarding him.
Konyaspor has not confirmed the reports suggesting the deal is completed; the key to the transfer lies in Kramer's departure from the club.
Mostafa Mohamed's contract with Nantes runs until June 2027, and it is still too early for his move to Konyaspor. Although he would top the club's priority list if Kramer departs, his signing priority may decrease if Kramer stays and reaches an agreement on his contract.
