The Portuguese outfit have been left shocked with the posture of the Egyptian giants as both parties couldn't come to terms with the sale of the 24-year-old winger
Abdul-Aziz Yakubu medical issue with Al Ahly SC sounds "strange", according to Rio Ave president António Silva Campos, with the Egyptian giants told the forward has been on clean bill of health in the last two and a half years in top-flight football.
A transfer fee of €2.5m was agreed between the two clubs over the sale of the Ghanaian attacker in the ongoing winter transfer window.
Nonetheless, the Egyptian Premier League superpower pulled out of the deal at the eleventh hour owing to a purported failure in medical examination report of the 24-year-old.
And now, those in charge of affairs at the Estádio dos Arcos, have made their unhappiness known given the posture of the Cairo-based club over the transfer deal.
"It's is strange that the medical examinations are an argument for the transfer not to take place, recalling that the player in the last two and a half years has played 88 official games and playing more than six thousand minutes and scoring 38 goals," Silva fired to newspaper Lusa as being quoted by O jogo.
He continued: "He is one of the top scorers in the I Liga and he never missed a game or training session. He will be back [to Vila do Conde] where he will continue to shine,"
"Surprisingly, we were then confronted with a loan request [until the end of the season] at zero cost. Al-Ahly not wanting to assume what was agreed between the parties. As there was no loan agreement. Al-Ahly then argued with questions related to medical examinations ."
