Pyramids FC pursue Swedish striker Isac Lidberg in ambitious transfer bid

Pyramids FC have submitted an official offer for Swedish forward Isac Lidberg, currently playing for SV Darmstadt, as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.

The reigning CAF Champions League winners are reportedly eager to bring the 26-year-old striker to Egypt and have already made their intentions clear by tabling a €2.5 million bid to the German second division side.

Lidberg’s recent form has placed him firmly on the radar of clubs across Europe and Africa, with Pyramids FC emerging as the most determined suitor.

Reports in Germany confirm that the Cairo-based club made direct contact with Darmstadt in a bid to initiate negotiations for the prolific Swede.

However, sources close to the matter indicate that the offer was swiftly rejected by the Bundesliga 2 outfit, who are believed to be holding out for a higher fee given the player’s value and recent performances.

Lidberg enjoyed a standout campaign last season, registering 14 goals and providing 5 assists in 28 league matches. His clinical finishing and physical presence up front played a pivotal role in Darmstadt’s attacking unit, attracting attention not only domestically but also from abroad.

His reputation has only grown further after his explosive start to the new season—netting a hat-trick against Bochum in the opening match of the German second division.

The timing of Pyramids FC’s approach reflects their clear ambition to build on their continental success. Following their historic CAF Champions League triumph, the Egyptian giants are aiming to reinforce their squad with international calibre talent, and Lidberg fits the profile of a forward capable of delivering goals on the big stage.

Despite the initial setback in negotiations, sources suggest that Pyramids FC have not given up on securing the Swedish striker and could return with an improved offer.

The club’s hierarchy remains confident in their project and sees Lidberg as a transformative figure who could help elevate them to even greater heights domestically and across Africa.

The 26-year-old striker, who began his career in Sweden and has steadily climbed the European football ladder, is yet to comment publicly on the interest from Egypt. His current deal with Darmstadt reportedly still has time remaining, placing the German side in a strong bargaining position.

As it stands, Darmstadt remain firm in their stance, unwilling to release a player who is central to their campaign unless the financial terms are significantly enhanced.

With the European transfer window still open, both clubs have time to revisit discussions, and the coming weeks may determine whether Lidberg continues in Germany or makes a high-profile move to the Egyptian Premier League.

For now, Lidberg’s name continues to be linked with one of Africa’s most ambitious clubs, as Pyramids FC push to turn their dream signing into a reality.
