Sirino, 29, has made his intentions clear of his desire to reunite with Pitso Mosimane at the record nine-time CAF Champions League winners and is said to have already agreed a deal in principle for a lucrative move.
However, Sundowns have held firm with their second bid of the current transfer window rejected due to the offer falling short of their valuation.
Speaking to Yallakora on Tuesday, Brazilians general manager Yogesh Singh stated that Al Ahly would need to meet their demands as they don't have a foreign player in their squad at the standard of the Uruguayan playmaker.
And with Mosimane making Sirino one of his priority targets, Masandawana currently hold all the cards in one of the biggest transfer sagas in Africa at present.
"Whoever wants to sign Messi has to pay a lot of money and not say that there is a limit to the offer, and the same is true for Sirino," Singh told the Egyptian publication.
snl24.com/kickoff can confirm that an asking price of close to R90-million will be enough for the Tshwane giants to part ways with their most-prized asset, who is believed to be refusing to train in order to force a move away from the club.
Sirino scored 13 goals and registered 10 assists in 41 games across all competitions in the 2019/20 treble-winning campaign.
