"We met with the Saudi officials in Cairo and we agreed on all details," Samir Abdul-Tawwab told FilGoal.com.

Abdul-Tawwab refused to reveal any financial details.

Though, FilGoal.com has learnt that Egypt's arguably best player will sign a luxurious 3-million euros contract that lasts only 18 months.

Shikabala, 25, tops the Egyptian league's top scorers list with 13 goals, with three games remaining in the domestic season.

Despite agreeing terms, the international winger had a condition to turn the Saudi move down if he received a better offer from Europe.

Reports said that English and German clubs were interested in signing Shikabala, with Birmingham in pole position.

Shikabala's contract runs out in January 2012.
