Van La Parra, meanwhile, was last night in Middlesbrough ahead of a move to the Championship club.
Sobhi joined Town from Stoke City in the summer transfer window but has made just four appearances a under David
Wagner in an injury-troubled campaign.
Sobhi’s agent Nader Shawky has previously said he would not be leaving this transfer window.
But with the Al Ahly youth product looking to rediscover his form and get back in contention for the Egyptian national team, it looks like he is willing to return to t the club that launched him.
“The club management confirms c that negotiations with Huddersfield winger Ramadan Sobhi is still ongoing and in an advanced stage. A deal will be officially announced once it’s definitely sealed,” Al Ahly said in official statement.
Ahly have been very active in the January market in an attempt to inject some life into their under-achieving squad, signing winger Mohamed Mahmoud from Wadi Degla, leftback Mahmoud Wahid from Maqassa, and winger Geraldo da Costa from Angolan side Primeiro de Agosto.
The club also announced this month the appointment of Uruguayan tactician Martin Lasarte to lead the team.
Ahly are currently seventh in the Egyptian league table with 23 points from 11 games, 12 points adrift of leaders Zamalek who have played three more games.
