Al Ahly legend Ahmed Shobier has given an update on the complications in the contract talks between the Egyptian giants and Pitso Mosimane.
The two parties had reached a statement in extension talks last week, as iDiski Times reported on Monday.
The issue between both sides is circling around a “protection clause” in Mosimane’s new deal.
Shobier stated that ‘Jingles’ camp want full payment for a year in case the South African would be dismissed by the club, while Al Ahly are only offering three months.
“Al Ahly didn’t appreciate leaked information in the South African media about the contract extension, so Mosimane’s requests were leaked as well,” he said, as per Kingfut.
“Mosimane’s agent was the one who pushed for a contract extension, her requests were increasing salary, she also asked for full-year payment in case of dismissal. Al Ahly refused both requests.
“However, Al Ahly are willing to extend the contract but with penal clause being three months, not a full year, but there is no rush.”
This publication, though, understands that both parties are now close to reaching an agreement and you can read the latest on the situation in this week’s iDiski Times newspaper.
