Mustafa Shobier posted a photo of himself at Al Ahly's training facility as he prepares for the start of next season.
Shobier was on holiday with the international players after their World Cup campaign ended.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper has played 70 matches for Al Ahly, keeping 38 clean sheets and conceding 44 goals.
An Al Ahly source previously told FilGoal.com: "We decided to settle the contract renewal file for the international duo Mustafa Shobier and Emam Ashour before the team's pre-season camp begins."
According to Fabrizio Romano, Mustafa Shobier has signed with the "CAA Base" agency to manage his affairs.
Romano explained that Shobier has become a candidate to leave in the coming period, amid interest from several clubs in signing him following his standout performances at the World Cup.
The same agency manages the affairs of Brazil national team coach Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea duo Cole Palmer and Moisés Caicedo, Tottenham duo Richarlison and Pedro Porro, and a host of other names.
Shobier led Egypt to qualify for the round of 16 at the World Cup, exiting the tournament at the hands of Argentina after a 3-2 defeat.
Shobier performed well, saving two penalties taken by Iran's Mehdi Taremi in the group stage and Argentina's Lionel Messi in the round of 16.
The draw for the new Egyptian League season will be held on August 5.
Al Ahly finished last season in third place in the league table, qualifying for the CAF Confederation Cup.
