Mohammadi Snubs Dinamo Bucharest & Signs for
Blackburn:
A few days ago, ENPPI versatile right back Ahmed El
Mohammadi decided to reject an offer from Romanian side
Dinamo Bucharest. The player declared that he is not
interested in playing in Romania and revealed that Blackburn
are on verge of an offer.
The player spent a few days on trial at the Premiership
side and impressed the former manager Paul Ince. However,
later reports claimed that Blackburn are no longer interested
in the Egyptian due to their poor standing in the table
and their desire to sign players who have Premiership
experience.
Despite this, it seems that the current manager Sam
Allardyce was also keen on signing Mohammadi as he sent
club representatives to watch Mohammadi in action in
the friendly between Egypt and Kenya this week.
Blackburn officials made a 1.5m pounds bid which was
accepted by ENPPI and the player will join his new side
within a few days.

Not only this, but Blackburn are also keen on signing Mohmoud
Abdel Razek (Shikabala) from Zamalek. Unlike Mohammadi, Shikabala
doesn't need to play 75% of Egypt's matches in the past two
years to join Premiership clubs as he played for a European
club (PAOK) before.
However, Shikabala's move will be delayed at least until
summer since he still have a few months to spend in military
service. Another factor that might hinder the transfer is
the Zamalek board which will unlikely let their rising star
go.
EP congratulate Mohammadi for his big move and hope that
he can impress in his loan period in order to win a permanent
offer from Blackburn or other OPremiership sides in the summer.
