CAIRO: Ittihad Alexandria goalkeeper Al-Hani Soliman has agreed on a deal to stay with the coastal club untill 2013, Ittihad President Mohamed Mosselhi said.

Mosselhi told FilGoal.com that Soliman will sign a five-year extension, which earns him LE 200.000 in the first season, increasing by 50.000 each year.

He is a talented young keeper and will be the future of the team, Mosselhi said.

Soliman came through Ittihad s youth ranks and managed to break into the first team even with the addition of veteran keeper Samir Ashour to the Alexandria team.

He has been repeatedly linked with a move to Ahly, even after the Egyptian champions signed Palestinian international Ramzi Saleh.
