The Egypt midfielder will run out of contract in the summer as Ismaili’s attempts to convince him with a new deal came to no avail.

The 26-year-old insists on an EGP 5million-a-year contract, while the Dervishes have been struggling with financial problems of late.

He was recently sanctioned by the club for disciplinary reasons, only for him to express his dismay with the ‘unfair treatment’ he receives in comparison to the rest of the team.

Abd-Rabou, who was loaned out to Ahli Dubai for the past couple of seasons, spent most of the current campaign on the sidelines after damaging knee ligaments back in July 2010.
