Well-informed media sources have revealed that Al Ahly midfielder Ahmed Nabil Koka is on the verge of leaving the Red Castle to join Turkish side Kasimpasa. The transfer deal is progressing steadily and is expected to be finalized within the coming hours. Sports journalist Fathallah Zidan stated in an official post on his Facebook page that Al Ahly’s management has given initial approval for the transfer, pending the final agreement on a resale clause—something the club is keen to include to secure future benefits should the player move to another team later.

This move comes as part of head coach Marcel Koller’s plan to reshape the squad for the new season, allowing some players to pursue opportunities abroad for greater technical and physical development, while making room for emerging talents in line with the club’s policy of renewal and squad rotation. Known for his tactical versatility and ability to play multiple roles in midfield, Koka caught the attention of Kasimpasa’s scouts following his performances in both domestic and continental competitions with Al Ahly, prompting the Turkish club to initiate serious negotiations to sign him.

Meanwhile, across the European continent, French club Le Havre has officially announced the departure of Egyptian striker Ahmed Hassan "Koka" after a short stint that began last January and lasted only six months. In a statement published on their official website, the club confirmed that Koka played 16 matches and scored 3 goals, making a notable impact in the attacking line during the second half of the season.
Le Havre’s management expressed deep appreciation for Koka’s contributions during his time at the club, highlighting his commitment both on and off the field and his leadership qualities, which positively influenced the locker room—especially amid the fierce battle to stay in Ligue 1. The statement concluded: “We wish the player all the best in his next step and thank him for everything he gave to the club.”

Additionally, the French outlet "Foot Mercato" emphasized Koka’s undeniable role in helping Le Havre survive the relegation battle. His crucial goals and prior experience in the Turkish and Greek leagues significantly bolstered the team's frontline during critical moments. He also earned praise from the fans on multiple occasions, especially after his strong displays against top-tier French sides.

With his contract now mutually terminated, Ahmed Hassan Koka is on the cusp of a new chapter in his professional career, amid reports of interest from clubs in the Gulf region and Eastern Europe. Though his time in France was brief, it demonstrated his ability to quickly adapt and make an impact in a highly competitive environment.

Having started his European journey years ago, Koka seems determined to continue his path on the continent or return to the Arab leagues with greater experience and maturity. Meanwhile, Ahmed Nabil Koka’s transfer file remains pending final confirmation, with expectations high that his move to Turkey will mark a significant turning point in his career—especially if he secures regular playing time in the Süper Lig.
