"We have signed Ali after he terminated his contract with Cement Suez," Masri president Ali Faragallah told FilGoal.com

"He had to pay his previous club EGP 250,000 at his own expense in order to rescind his deal and get the all-clear to join us."

The coastal club have also opened talks with Tersana over the services of Hammers' striker Talaat Moharam, who is touted to be Masri's next arrival.

Furthermore, Faragallah revealed that a Senegalese hitman will arrive at the Port Said side within the next couple of day in order to undergo a trial.
