Arab Contractors striker Ihab Al-Masri assured that he would move to another club this summer, saying Egyptian powerhouses Ahli and Zamalek are seriously seeking to sign him.

"I have received a multitude of offers from Egyptian and foreign clubs," he told FilGoal.com.

"Ahli and Zamalek have made overtures to acquire my services, and I'm definitely leaving Contractors in the close season."

Al-Masri had a terrific season with the Mountain Wolves, having notched 11 goals in the Egyptian Premier League to become the team's top scorer.

His impressive form earned him an Egypt call-up for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria, but later on he was excluded from the Pharaohs' final squad.

Rest

Contractors named Al-Masri in their provisional roster for next season, which suggests the technical staff are trying to keep hold of him.

But the skillful front-man is planning to carry on his career elsewhere, saying he needs to have a rest before deciding on his future.

"I'm not staying at Contractors, I know the coaching staff and the club's board want me to stay, but my mind is made up," Al-Masri added.

"I just need some rest to recharge my battery after a long season, and also to get over my elimination from the Egyptian national side.

"When I have a clear head I will determine my next destination."
