"Reports emerging from Africa, specifically AfricaFoot, alleged that the Red Bulls had approached Egyptian powerhouses Al Ahly about a six-month loan with an option to purchase afterward. That, however, is not the case at this time."
"The Red Bulls are undoubtedly looking to tweak its roster after a disappointing campaign resulted in their first playoff miss in 16 years. There had been a considerable lack of game-changing offense outside ex-Bayern Munich striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, especially with Scottish international Lewis Morgan missing all but three matches due to multiple injuries. While the interest in Ashour appear low, the possibility of the Red Bulls remounting a pursuit of ex-German international Timo Werner is something to watch this offseason."
"The 29-year-old has fought his way back into the Red Bull Leipzig side, but a move in the January transfer window is imminent, and New York is still believed to be a potential suitor. Werner and the Red Bulls have been in extended talks over the last year, with a move nearly being completed before the closing of the August transfer window. However, the sides could not agree on wages, forcing the two parties to abandon the potential move."
There are no active negotiations between New York Red Bulls and Emam Ashour. AfricaFoot reported a proposed six-month loan from Al Ahly with an option to buy, but that approach is not occurring. Columbus Crew signed Wessam Abou Ali from Al Ahly, creating an MLS–Egypt transfer pathway. Ashour has 25 goals in 71 appearances for Al Ahly and featured in the 2023 and 2025 FIFA Club World Cups. Red Bulls missed the playoffs for the first time in 16 years and lacked game-changing offense beyond Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting amid Lewis Morgan’s injury absences. The club is linked to Timo Werner, whose potential January move from RB Leipzig could revive after previous wage-related talks collapsed.
