📢 Al Ahly Add Hossam Abdel-Meguid to Their Defensive Plans
Journalist Abdel Nasser Zidan has revealed that Al Ahly could be exploring a move for Hossam Abdel-Meguid, the Egypt international defender currently playing for Bulgarian champions Ludogorets.
Speaking on the “Stad Masr” program on Modern MTI, Zidan said Abdel-Meguid has emerged as a potential target as Al Ahly look to strengthen their center-back options during the upcoming January transfer window.
According to information cited by Zidan, the reported interest remains at the negotiation and exploratory stage, with no official announcement from either Al Ahly or Ludogorets at this point.
⭐ Ammouta Reportedly Wants a Different Defensive Option
Zidan also claimed that Al Ahly head coach Hussein Ammouta is not particularly keen on signing another domestic defender, which has reportedly encouraged the club to explore the possibility of bringing Abdel-Meguid back to Egypt.
The claim remains part of Zidan’s reported information, as Al Ahly have not publicly confirmed negotiations with the player or his current club.
🔥 Initial Contact With the Player
According to Zidan, an intermediary close to Al Ahly’s management has already contacted Abdel-Meguid to assess his position on a potential move to the Egyptian champions in January.
He added that the initial discussions have reportedly brought the two sides closer together, although the negotiations are being kept away from the spotlight for now.
Abdel-Meguid is currently under contract with Ludogorets after officially joining the Bulgarian club from Zamalek during the summer of 2026.
💰 €1.5 Million Mentioned as the Transfer Figure
Zidan claimed that Al Ahly are prepared to allocate around €1.5 million to complete a deal for Abdel-Meguid, with the club reportedly aiming to finalize the necessary procedures during December ahead of the January window.
However, it is important to note that no official Al Ahly offer worth €1.5 million has been announced. The figure currently comes from the information cited by Zidan.
The same €1.5 million figure was also reported during the summer in connection with Abdel-Meguid’s transfer from Zamalek to Ludogorets. Reports at the time stated that the Bulgarian club’s offer was valued at €1.5 million.
🏆 Abdel-Meguid’s European Adventure With Ludogorets
Hossam Abdel-Meguid officially joined Ludogorets from Zamalek in July, after the two clubs completed an agreement over the defender’s transfer.
The move represented the first European experience of the Egyptian center-back’s career after he established himself as an important player for Zamalek and the Egyptian national team.
A potential return to Egypt so soon after his move to Europe would therefore represent a major development in the player’s career.
📢 Could Abdel-Meguid Return to Egyptian Football?
For now, there has been no official confirmation from Al Ahly or Ludogorets that an agreement has been reached for Abdel-Meguid.
The potential transfer therefore remains a reported move rather than a completed deal, with the coming weeks expected to provide a clearer picture of whether Al Ahly can turn their reported interest into a formal agreement.
Do you think Hossam Abdel-Meguid would be a strong addition to Al Ahly’s defense? ⚽🔥
