A football director from an undisclosed Turkish club, alongside his assistant, arrived in Ismailia and presented Gouda with the offer, before the player asked them to proceed with the negotiation with the club board, Gouda told Filgoal.com exclusively.

Gouda, who played for Turkish outfit Ankaragucu for a short five-month spell, also revealed that negotiations with Ismaili for a contract extension reached a stumbling-block given the administrative turbulence in the club during this period.

On the other hand, Hommos revealed that he received an offer from Saudi club Qadisiya and said that he asked the Ismaili board to agree the deal so he would be able to insure his career after reaching the age of 27.
