As reported by Hassanin Mubarak on Twitter, Iraq’s Mohanad Ali has received several offers from clubs all over Europe, after his performances at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.

Denmark’s FC Midtjylland, Belgium’s KRC Genk, Czech Republic’s SK Slavia Praha, and Italy’s Cagliari Calcio have all submitted a formal offer for the player. Meanwhile, there is also a ‘reported’ interest from several other clubs such as Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.

Despite the offers, Ali’s club Al-Shorta SC is unlikely to let their star player leave during the January transfer window.

Ali has been with Al Qeetharah since 2014 and has scored twenty-five goals in forty-seven appearances. Meanwhile, the youngster has already broken through the Iraq Senior team and has eight goals in fourteen appearances for them.
