Masri opened talks with Ivory Coast keeper Jean Jacques Tizie to bring him to the Egyptian League next season, the club said on Sunday.

Masri president Sayed Metwalli set a $100,000 bid to sign Tizie, who plays for Tunisian champions Esperance, in addition to a monthly salary of $15,000.

The Ivorian first-choice keeper is reportedly approached by Arab Champions League runners-up Enppi, Egyptian media said.

Tizie helped his national side to reach the African Cup of Nations final before losing to Egypt on penalties.

He was also a key player in Ivory Coast's successful campaign towards their first appearance ever in the World Cup in Germany this year.
