Kelechi Iheanacho’s agent, Roger Wittman, has swiftly shut down rumors linking the Nigerian forward to Egyptian football powerhouse Al Ahly ahead of the winter transfer window.

Recent reports had suggested that Al Ahly was keen on securing Iheanacho’s services, but Wittman dismissed these claims, stating that no representatives from the club had reached out to discuss the potential move.

“No one from Egypt has contacted us to talk about the footballer, so the news is completely false,” he said in an interview with AS.

Iheanacho, who made the move to La Liga side Sevilla, has found it difficult to secure a regular spot in the first team.

He is yet to make an impact, failing to register any goals or assists in his nine league appearances for the Rojiblancos.

However it seems Nottingham Forest might just be the team to get the player, the team is eager to sign a contract as Aina’s contract is about to expire.

Mick Brown Commented o this situation “They’re desperate to get him tied down. I’d expect those talks to progress quickly, and I think they’ll be edging closer to that agreement. From what I know, he’s very happy there and they want him to stay, so it’s a no-brainer.”

“He’s strong defensively, gets his foot in to win the ball, and he can play going forward, he’s a good technician, and he’s done brilliantly.”

“I’m tired because when people talk about Vinicius provoking (people), they’re deflecting from the insults he receives from everyone.”

Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Al-Nassr, has reportedly urged the Saudi Pro League club to sign his former teammate, Casemiro, from Manchester United.

Ronaldo and Casemiro, who played together at both Real Madrid and Manchester United, have a strong bond, and it seems Ronaldo is keen to bring the Brazilian midfielder to Al-Nassr as part of a strategy to strengthen the team.

According to reports from Marca, one of the players on Ronaldo’s wishlist is Casemiro, who joined Manchester United in 2022 for a £70 million fee.

However, Manchester United is looking to move on from Casemiro due to his £350,000-a-week salary, and they are keen to free up funds to bolster their squad for manager Ruben Amorim.
