Galatasaray are being linked with a move for Egyptian central midfielder Emam Ashour, who currently plays for Al Ahly and is valued at €4.00m.
The 28-year-old, born in El Senbellawein and standing at 1.80m, is reportedly on the Turkish champions’ radar as they assess midfield options for the Süper Lig. Data from Transfermarkt lists Ashour’s market value at €4.00m, with the rumoured switch from Al Ahly to Istanbul first noted on 19 June 2026. The likelihood of the transfer remains unclear, with the reported probability described only as “?”.
Ashour, a right-footed central midfielder wearing the No 22 shirt at Al Ahly, has no publicly listed contract expiry date with the Cairo giants, leaving open the possibility that he could either run down his deal in future or become an attractive pre-contract or free-agent option if his situation changes. For now, however, there is no indication that his contract has expired.
The Al Ahly man, who represents Egypt at club level in the Premier League, has built a reputation as a dynamic presence in central midfield. Recent Transfermarkt data does not specify his latest season statistics in detail, but he continues to feature as a key part of Al Ahly’s engine room.
In a recent Egyptian Premier League outing for Al Ahly against domestic opposition earlier this month, Ashour featured in a narrow league win, contributing his usual intensity in central areas, although no goals or assists were recorded for him in that match according to available data.
With Galatasaray monitoring the market and Ashour entering what should be the peak years of his career, any move to Istanbul – now or when his contractual situation becomes clearer – could prove pivotal in shaping his trajectory in European football and enhance his standing beyond the Egyptian game.
