Ayman El-Sharai'i, president of Enppi Club, spoke this Tuesday evening about the joining of 4 players from the ranks of the first football team to Al-Ahly Club during the past period.
Al-Sharai'i said in television statements via the "On Sport" channel: "There are players who joined Al-Ahly for investment, Afroto and Omar Tarek Farouk, and the duo joined us from Al-Ahly three years ago, and Enppi developed them and then they returned to Al-Ahly again".
He added: "Ali Mahmoud is my project and one of the sons of the youth sector at the club, and his competition ended and he was about to leave the club and got his release, but I wrote him a contract and told him you will move up to the first team after 6 months, and indeed he moved up and stayed for a year in the first team without participating and I was behind him and supported him".
He continued his talk: "Ali Mahmoud was a left back at the beginning, from the time I took responsibility of the club in 2021 I was watching youth sector matches more than the first team".
He completed: "I put forward a new idea because of Ali Mahmoud, there was participation between me and Al-Ahly in the player, as long as Al-Ahly wins Enppi wins, my jewel is with him and I get a return, and Oktay the same thing, any player who comes out with this quality, I must do that".

He added: "Whoever gets the services of Ali Mahmoud we must congratulate him, I am biased and we let the days judge, he is something different to me, he calls me at 5 in the morning and I reply to him, and in his transfer to Al-Ahly he was waiting for me to approve, and he talks to me daily".
He continued: "Hamed Abdullah has greater chances of reinvestment abroad than Oktay and Ali Mahmoud, by 60 or 70% the club that gets him will sell him abroad, Al-Ahly and Pyramids inquired about him".
When asked about Ali Mahmoud's contract at Enppi, he replied saying: "Honestly I don't know, his contract was 300 thousand pounds, and as soon as he developed I came and he signed the contract and left".
He added: "If it weren't for Essam Sarraj being my friend and director of contracts at Al-Ahly, we wouldn't have completed the two deals, he is a disciplined and professional personality and has a long breath and I am a very provocative person in my negotiations, he endured a lot for Al-Ahly and its fans and deserves appreciation".
He concluded: "Sayed Abdel Hafeez did not appear in the picture, and my relationship with Mahmoud El-Khatib is very personal and he did not interfere in anything, and I spoke with Essam Sarraj after 5 very intense meetings".
