The ambiguity of the future of “Al-Somah”… Returning to Al-Ahly or staying in Al-Arabi?

The future of the Syrian Omar Al-Soma with his Al-Ahly club remains ambiguous, after the end of the loan period with Al-Arabi Al-Qatari, which culminated in winning the Emir of Qatar Cup title, and this comes in conjunction with Al-Ahly’s return to the Professional League, under the leadership of coach Pitso Musimani.

Last August, the Qatari club Al-Arabi announced the termination of the procedures for contracting with Al-Ahly club player, Syrian striker Omar Al-Soma, for a season on loan.

A few days ago, the Syrian player revealed his future in the next season, and he said in a press conference: “I did not want to talk about this matter at this time..but I have a contract with Al-Ahly club that has one year remaining, and I respect this contract, so I will return to the team.”

There are many clubs seeking to obtain the services of Al-Soma, after the end of his loan period from Al-Ahly club, as the Qatari Cup channel indicated that Al-Gharafa club is competing with its Arab counterpart to buy the contract of player Omar Al-Soma from Al-Ahly.

In an unexpected move, the Qatar Cup channel stated that Al-Ahly decided not to return the Syrian player Omar Al-Soma to its ranks during the new season, and is waiting for the highest financial offer to agree to sell it.

And the management of Al-Arabi Al-Qatari had asked its counterpart in Al-Ahly to extend the loan of Syrian striker Omar Al-Soma for another season, for $ 1.5 million.

Al-Ahly’s response to Al-Arabi’s administration came by requesting an increase in the Qatari offer to 2.5 million dollars, which Al-Arabi rejected, with one year left in Al-Somah’s contract with Al-Ahly.

Al-Arabi Club hopes to settle the file for extending the loan of Al-Suma for an amount that satisfies all parties, before the start of the team’s camp, at the end of next month in Spain, especially in light of the player’s great desire to stay.

On the other hand, the Al-Ahly administration is waiting for other offers to include Al-Somah, foremost of which is the Qatari Al-Gharafa offer, to get the best return from this deal.

For his part, Abdullah Al-Jassem, Omar Al-Soma’s agent, confirmed that the issue is with Al-Ahly club, and Al-Soma is now an Al-Ahly player, and Al-Soma is currently in Jeddah to meet with Al-Ahly management to decide his future, whether to continue or leave.
