New Gulf Offer Threatens Mohamed Sobhi’s Future at Zamalek Amid Pyramids’ Interest
Zamalek goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhi has received an official offer from a Saudi club, prompting the club’s management to consider their options in anticipation of his possible departure.
Zamalek goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhi has received a fresh offer from a Saudi club seeking to sign him during the current summer transfer window, amid growing interest from several teams in acquiring the services of one of Egypt’s standout goalkeepers in recent seasons.
Out of respect for his current contract with Zamalek, Sobhi promptly informed the club’s management of all the details surrounding the new offer. Initial indications suggest that the proposal reached him through intermediaries in recent hours, and the player immediately forwarded it to the club’s officials to discuss the possibility of moving forward with formal negotiations.
Although Sobhi had previously attracted local interest—most notably from Pyramids FC—that move did not materialize due to Zamalek’s Sporting Director, John Edward, insisting on a specific financial compensation for the transfer. The club remains firm in its stance against parting with key players unless a technically equivalent replacement is secured.
In parallel, Zamalek’s management is actively preparing backup options should Sobhi leave. They have already signed goalkeeper Mahdy Soliman on a free transfer, adding depth to the squad alongside Mohamed Awad. The final decision regarding Sobhi’s future now depends on the coaching staff’s assessment and the availability of suitable alternatives.
Moreover, informed sources have revealed that the club is considering negotiations with El Gouna to potentially sign goalkeeper Mohamed Alaa, should a final decision be made to sell Sobhi during this transfer window. This reflects the administration’s effort to maintain balance within the squad, especially in such a critical position.
On a related note, Zamalek’s first team has resumed its group training sessions after a short break, in preparation for upcoming competitions. The team is set to conclude its training camp with a friendly match against Wadi Degla on July 27, aimed at evaluating player readiness and finalizing tactical plans ahead of the new season.
