Ekrami was poised to re-join Ahli after ending a dull spell with Holland's Feyenoord, but the offer from the Cairo club was unacceptable for him.

While Ahli are looking for a new keeper in the winter break, Ekrami has been shortlisted as a strong contender to join the Red Devils.

"If Ahli made a move for Ekrami, we will surely consider it to settle the situation," Youssef told FilGoal.com.

"We have no reservations to let him go if that’s what he wants, but we are only ready to sell him at the right price."

Ekrami has been in a terrific form with league debutants Gouna so far this season and is tipped to join the Egypt squad in the near future.
