Egypt international playmaker Afsha is being linked with a move from Ahly SC to Iraqi side Al-Zawraa SC, according to the latest transfer listings.

The 29-year-old attacking midfielder, currently valued at €550,000, has emerged as a reported target for the Iraq Stars League club, with the move listed as a rumour and no probability yet attached to the deal. There is no contract expiry date recorded for Afsha at Ahly, raising the possibility that his situation could evolve towards a free-agent scenario if no renewal or transfer fee agreement is finalised.

Afsha has been with Ahly SC since joining from Pyramids FC in 2019, having previously played for Enppi SC and El Raja Marsa Matruh, where he also spent time on loan earlier in his career. All of his senior club football to date has come in Egypt’s Premier League, making a switch to Iraq and the Iraq Stars League a significant change in environment and competition.

Born on 6 March 1996 and standing at 1.68m, the right-footed midfielder has generally operated in an advanced central role, providing creativity between the lines. His market value has declined from a peak of €2.5m during his Ahly spell in 2021 to the current €550k as of December 2025, a trajectory that may influence both bargaining power and salary expectations in any prospective move.

No recent match-specific performance details are listed in the available data, and there is no indication yet of an agreed fee or personal terms between Ahly SC and Al-Zawraa SC. The rumour entry, last updated on 26 December 2025, simply records the Iraqi club’s interest without further clarification.

Should a transfer to Al-Zawraa materialise, it would mark Afsha’s first venture outside Egyptian football and could offer a fresh platform to reassert his value and reshape the later stages of his career in a new league.
