A potential transatlantic move is taking shape for Al Ahly's Emam Ashour, as exclusive information reveals that Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls have tabled an official offer for the Egyptian midfielder.
The proposed deal, orchestrated by Belgian agent Jacob—who recently facilitated Wessam Abou Ali's move to Columbus Crew—outlines a six-month loan agreement valued at $1.5 million, accompanied by a purchase option set at $5 million.

Crucially, the move has already garnered significant interest from the player's camp. Both Ashour and his representative, Adam Watani, have reportedly given their preliminary approval. Beyond the sporting appeal of competing in the MLS, the 27-year-old is also enticed by the long-term contractual benefits, which include a potential pathway to American citizenship should the transfer become permanent.
