Egyptian attacking midfielder Ali Mahmoud of Enppi SC is being linked with a summer move to Egyptian Premier League giants Al Ahly, with his contractual situation potentially opening the door to a free-agent style switch.
The 23-year-old, a left-footed attacking midfielder who wears number 12 for Enppi, is listed with a market value of €350k, according to Transfermarkt, but his contract expiry date is not specified, fuelling speculation that Al Ahly could negotiate a cut-price deal or explore the possibility of signing him once his current terms run down. The reported probability of the transfer remains unclear and is currently marked as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, are at a very early stage.
Mahmoud, born on 4 December 2002 and capped at club level by Enppi, has emerged as one of the more intriguing creative options in the Egyptian top flight. Operating primarily as a central attacking midfielder, he has also been used across the advanced midfield line, offering flexibility to coaches looking to add invention between the lines.
Recent league performances for Enppi have helped sharpen interest, with Mahmoud featuring in the Egyptian Premier League this term and continuing to build his reputation as a technically tidy link player in the final third. In his latest outing – a Premier League fixture earlier this month for Enppi, whose opponents and detailed statistics were not officially listed – he again occupied his familiar advanced midfield role as his side continued their push for a top-half finish.
With both Enppi and Al Ahly competing in the same division, any move would represent a significant step up in profile for Mahmoud. If a deal materialises, it could mark a pivotal moment in his career, offering the platform to turn domestic promise into wider recognition at one of Africa’s most decorated clubs.
