Agent Mounir Hassan told FilGoal.com that the board will have to offload Ghanaian full-back Al-Habib Mohamed in case Ibrahim's move goes as planned.

The Alexandria-based side already have three foreigners in the shape of Mohamed, Ghanaian compatriot Awuleye Quaye 'Junior', as well as Cameroonian forward Zambou Rollin Achille.

It is believed that Ittihad can afford to let Mohamed go, as the squad have more than one player, who can all be deployed at left-back.

Ittihad are currently eighth in the Egyptian Premier League table with 19 points.
