Egypt international Ahmed Abdelkader is being linked with a surprise move from Ahly SC to Iraqi side Al-Karma, according to transfer listings monitored in the Iraq Stars League.
The 26-year-old left winger, currently valued at €325k, has emerged as a potential target for the Iraqi club, with the latest update on 3 February 2026 placing him among rumoured incomings from the Egyptian Premier League. The probability level of the transfer has not been specified, leaving the deal firmly in the speculation category at this stage.
Abdelkader is contracted to Ahly SC, but publicly available data does not show an expiry date on his current agreement, raising the possibility that he could either negotiate a move for a fee or run down his terms and become a free agent if no extension is agreed. His recent return to Ahly from a loan spell at Qatar SC in the 2024-25 season underlines a career that has already featured several moves across different leagues.
No recent competitive match details – such as opponents, dates, scorelines or individual performances – are recorded in the provided data, so it is unclear how much Abdelkader’s current form is driving Al-Karma’s interest. However, his trajectory shows previous market value peaks of up to €800k during his earlier spell at Al Ahly, suggesting clubs may view the present €325k valuation as an opportunity.
Born on 23 May 1999 in Cairo and standing at 1.80m, Abdelkader operates primarily as an attacking left winger but favours his right foot, offering the option to cut inside from the flank. He has experience in Egypt’s top flight with Al Ahly and Smouha SC, as well as a spell in the Czech system with AC Sparta Prague B, and a stint in Qatar with Qatar SC.
If a move to Al-Karma does materialise, it would open a new chapter in the Iraq Stars League and could either revive or redefine Abdelkader’s standing after a fluctuating market value, potentially setting the course for the next decisive phase of his career.
