Hamed Hamdan Continues Absence, Pressures Petrojet Management
Palestinian midfielder Hamed Hamdan continues to skip Petrojet’s training sessions and friendly matches, aiming to pressure the club’s management into allowing him to join Zamalek during the current summer transfer window.
Hamdan has rejected all attempts by the club to convince him to stay, firmly expressing his desire to pursue a new challenge with one of Egypt’s top-tier teams.
Absence from Friendlies and Growing Internal Sanctions
Hamdan was notably absent from Petrojet’s recent friendlies against Haras El Hodood, Telecom Egypt, and El Gouna.
In response, the club implemented internal disciplinary measures, imposing financial penalties on the player and warning of stricter consequences if his absence continues.
Despite this, Petrojet’s management remains adamant about keeping the player until his contract expires at the end of the following season, seeing him as a key component in their upcoming campaign.
Zamalek Monitoring Situation, Preparing Official Bid
Meanwhile, Zamalek officials are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to present an official offer if Petrojet shows any flexibility.
Hamdan is considered a top target for Zamalek this summer, not only due to his skillset but also because his Palestinian nationality exempts him from occupying a foreign player slot in the squad.
From Gaza to Cairo: A Promising Journey
Hamdan began his football journey with Hilal Gaza in Palestine, showcasing early promise that earned him a move to Egypt in 2018, where he joined Al Ahly’s youth team.
Despite his strong performances in the youth ranks, he never made it to the first team, prompting moves between several Egyptian clubs before finally settling at Petrojet, where his performances caught the eyes of top-flight scouts.
Technical Versatility and Offensive Strength
At 25 years old, Hamdan brings considerable versatility to the attacking line. He can play as a central striker or on the wings, utilizing his strong physical presence, dribbling ability, and powerful long-range shots.
A potential move to Zamalek could mark a major turning point in his career, offering him the platform to shine in the Egyptian Premier League and on the continental stage.
