Hossam El-Badry Rules Out Signing Al Ahly Star Hussein El-Shahat for Ahli Tripoli
Transfer Speculation Ends as Libyan Coach Delivers Surprise Verdict
Hossam El-Badry, head coach of Libya's Ahli Tripoli, has officially closed the door on signing Egyptian playmaker Hussein El-Shahat from Al Ahly during the upcoming summer transfer window. The announcement, made in a televised statement on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, puts an end to weeks of intense speculation that had linked the Egyptian international with a move to the Libyan Premier League champions.
What El-Badry Said — A Clear and Final Answer
El-Badry acknowledged El-Shahat's quality but was direct about his club's plans. "Hussein El-Shahat is one of the most prominent players in his position and possesses great experience," the Libyan coach stated. "However, he is not among the names on Ahli Tripoli's transfer table at the present time." The coach explained that his squad already has significant depth in the same position, making the addition of El-Shahat unnecessary for the current phase.
Key Facts Behind the Transfer Saga
- Contract status: El-Shahat's deal with Al Ahly expired at the end of the 2025–26 season, leaving him a free agent.
- Renewal stalled: Negotiations between El-Shahat and Al Ahly management have stalled over financial disagreements, creating uncertainty about his future.
- Libyan interest: Reports from Egyptian media, including broadcaster Ahmed Shobair, claimed Ahli Tripoli had made initial contact with the player.
- Cup triumph factor: El-Badry recently led Ahli Tripoli to the Libyan Cup title, fueling speculation he would push for high-profile Egyptian signings.
- Final decision: El-Badry's televised statement on June 10 definitively ruled out any move to Libya.
El-Shahat's Situation — A Career at a Crossroads
Hussein El-Shahat has been one of Al Ahly's most creative midfielders, contributing goals and assists across multiple seasons in the Egyptian Premier League and CAF Champions League. His contract expiry has placed him at a career crossroads. With the Libyan option now off the table, the most likely outcome is that El-Shahat will remain at Al Ahly — the "Red Castle" — as both sides continue negotiations to reach a new financial agreement. The player's camp has not issued a public statement since El-Badry's announcement.
Why This Matters for Libyan Football
The transfer saga highlighted the growing ambition of Libyan clubs in the North African market. Ahli Tripoli's recent Libyan Cup victory under El-Badry has raised expectations that the club would pursue marquee signings to strengthen their continental campaign. While the El-Shahat move did not materialize, the fact that a club from Tripoli was publicly linked with an Al Ahly star signals a shift in how Libyan football is perceived regionally. Libyan fans will now watch closely to see which targets El-Badry pursues instead as the summer window progresses.
What Happens Next
Attention now returns to Cairo, where Al Ahly and El-Shahat's representatives are expected to resume talks in the coming days. For Ahli Tripoli, El-Badry will turn his attention to alternative targets as he builds a squad capable of defending their domestic title and making an impact in CAF competitions. The summer transfer window remains open, and both clubs have significant decisions ahead. One thing is certain — the El-Shahat-to-Libya chapter is closed, at least for now.
