Zamalek board member Ahmed Soliman confirmed that 25-year-old defender Hossam Abdelmaguid has an offer from Sharjah in the UAE and another from Ludogorets. Soliman explained that Zamalek is in a difficult situation, as they need the player, but his contract expires at the end of the next season, creating a risk of losing him on a free transfer. The club's situation is further complicated by a transfer ban which prevents them from registering new players. Discussions about the Ludogorets offer are ongoing between Zamalek's management and the player's representatives. A final decision has not yet been made on whether to approve or reject the offers for the Egyptian international. The centre-back has 15 caps for Egypt, and his current market value is €2.00m according to Transfermarkt.
