CAIRO: Middlesbrough midfielder Mohamed Shawky revealed that he would leave the English side in January.
I received several offers from European clubs, but the summer transfer window is now closed, he told Ahly s official site.
I ll probably accept one of those bids in the winter.
The former Ahly man reiterated that he would like to keep pursuing his dream to carve out a name for himself in Europe.
However, he stressed that if he would only join the Red Devils should he return to Egypt.
I ll only play for Ahly if I decide to get back home, Shawky added.
The 27-year-old joined Middlesbrough in the summer of 2007, and failed to secure a regular spot over the past couple of seasons under the management of Garth Southgate.
Shawky remains out of favor at the Riverside, even after Boro s relegation to the Championship last season.
