The future of Hossam Abdel-Meguid remains one of the most debated issues within Zamalek, especially amid the club’s recent instability and the pressing need to strengthen the defensive line. Although the player is under contract until the 2026–2027 season, this does not completely rule out discussions about his next step.
The technical staff, led by Ahmed Abdel-Raouf, insists on keeping the player, viewing him as a key defensive pillar at a time when alternative options are limited and the team seeks greater defensive stability.
On the other hand, the club’s management does not entirely close the door to a potential move. While valuing the player’s importance, the administration is open to considering any strong official offer that may arrive during the winter transfer window.
Recent weeks have seen informal communications from player agents and growing interest from foreign clubs, yet no official bids have reached the club. For his part, the player is keen on pursuing a professional career abroad in the future but remains committed to his contract and the club’s decisions.
Zamalek’s ongoing registration ban plays a crucial role in shaping the final decision. The club cannot afford to lose a key defender unless the financial and administrative issues behind the ban are resolved.
Meanwhile, the player’s brother, Islam Abdel-Meguid, denied all rumors surrounding alleged contract irregularities, stressing that any potential departure would only take place through official and transparent procedures.
