It seems Mohamed al-Shenawy’s heroic performance in the World Cup has put him on the road to become the most valuable player in Egypt.
Shenawy’s home team Al-Ahly received an official offer from Pyramids Football Club, requesting the Egyptian giant to loan them Shenawy for two seasons in exchange for $4 million, in addition to an $800 thousand-dollar-salary for the player, according to Pyramids FC official twitter account.
The offer has been increased double from an original $2 million offer to sell Egypt’s number one goalkeeper for good, which Al-Ahly refused.
