Ahli top-scorer Mohamed Abou-Treika said he received four official offers from European and Arab clubs to sign him starting of next season.

"I’ve been dreaming of playing abroad for a while now," Abou-Treika told FilGoal.com exclusively on Tuesday.

"I won a number of titles and awards since I moved to Ahli, who have four official offers for me, but will look into them after the season ends."

The 28-year-old earned the Egyptian league's top-scorer award for the first time in his career after scoring 18 goals throughout the competition that ended on Monday.

"I received two offers from Russian sides Spartak Moscow for three-million Euros, and Lokomotiv Moscow for 2.5-million Euros," Abou-Treika revealed.

"I also got an undisclosed offer from French club Lens and a one-year loan deal from Qatari club Al-Rayan for $1.5-million," he added.

The Egypt international is expected to make a move out of the Egyptian League to ensure his future financially and career-wise.

Ahli, though, look to tie the sensational striker to the club with a tempting extension deal, to reinforce their title defense campaign in the African Champions League.

Abou-Treika also revealed that his contract included a $750,000 penalty clause if he left the club at any given time, but he said that he hoped Ahli were professional enough to support his choice.

The inspiring goal-scorer guided Egypt to win the African Cup of Nations and helped Ahli win last season's African Champions League and this season’s Egyptian League.
