Al-Ahly goalkeeping coach Ahmed Nagi declared to a weekly sports paper, "The fact that Sherif Ikrami has gone to Holland is a big waste for Al-Ahly, as he has high abilities."

He also added that Ahly could have added to his price by including him in some more of their games. He was mostly 3rd choice for the club, and they were happy to let go of him as they were about to complete the signing of former Club Brugges and Akratitos goalkeeper Nader El-Sayed.

The fee that the shot-stopper was sold for was in fact announced, as just under €300,000.

Nagi also told Feyenoord's goalkeeping coach, while in the Netherlands, that the club have won a talented goalkeeper. However, it is reminded that Ikrami will almost certainly be loaned out to a Feyenoord satellite club.

More financial terms were also revealed by the paper, and it is now known that Al-Ahly will receive a percentage of Sherif's next sale, should he have one. If Ikrami is sold during this coming season, 20% of the fee will be the Cairo club's. Any season after that, 15% will be their share.
