Mohamed Sobhy Nears Pyramids Move as Zamalek Awaits Saudi Decision
Pyramids close to signing Mohamed Sobhy for EGP 50 million as Zamalek searches for a replacement.
Pyramids FC has entered advanced negotiations with Zamalek goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhy, aiming to sign him during the current summer transfer window. According to informed sources, both parties have reached a near-final agreement, with the transfer fee expected to be around EGP 50 million, payable to Zamalek. The official announcement is likely to follow in the coming days, once final administrative and contractual details are settled.
Zamalek Prepares for the Post-Sobhy Phase
With Sobhy's departure seemingly imminent, Zamalek officials have begun working to secure a strong replacement in goal. The club has initiated talks with promising young goalkeeper Mohamed Alaa and reached a preliminary agreement with the player. The deal now hinges on his current club’s approval, and the transfer is expected to be finalized soon, especially given Alaa's eagerness to join the White Knights.
Saudi Interest in Sobhy Continues
Despite Pyramids leading the negotiations, Sobhy is still exploring other options. He recently received verbal interest from Saudi Pro League clubs Al-Okhdood and Damac. While these discussions haven’t yet materialized into official offers, the goalkeeper remains open to a potential move abroad—especially to the Saudi league, which continues to grow in popularity and attract top international talent.
Sobhy’s Final Decision Still Pending
Although a verbal agreement exists between Sobhy and Pyramids, the move has not been made official yet. Zamalek remains in a state of anticipation, as no contracts have been signed, and the goalkeeper's next step remains unclear. Options remain open, whether it’s a short-term continuation with Zamalek or a move abroad.
Zamalek Bets on a Quick Replacement
Amid uncertainty around Sobhy’s future, Zamalek’s management is working quickly and decisively to fill the potential gap in their goalkeeping lineup. With a busy season ahead—domestically and continentally—the technical staff is prioritizing the signing of a reliable replacement to maintain team stability and competitiveness.
