Al Ahly winger Mahmoud Trezeguet to join Saudi outfit Al-Riyadh after World Cup

Egyptian international Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet is on the verge of completing a transfer to Saudi side Al-Riyadh SC from Al Ahly.

Trezeguet, who is currently representing Egypt at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, is expected to undergo his medical at the closure of the global showpiece.

As per reports, all contractual and financial terms has been agreed between both parties, with the enterprising winger expected to seal the move in the coming days.

Trezeguet’s medical examination has been scheduled after Egypt’s participation in the World Cup, ensuring the player remains fully focused on international commitments before the move.

This arrangement reflects the importance of his role with the national team, as Egypt continue their campaign on football’s biggest stage.

Interestingly, the breakthrough in negotiations reportedly came after Trezeguet expressed his willingness to begin a new chapter in his career. His agent is said to have informed Al-Riyadh officials of the player’s openness to a move, which accelerated talks between all parties.

This development prompted the Saudi club to move quickly to finalize terms with Al-Ahly and secure the deal ahead of other potential suitors.

Meanwhile, the official unveiling of Trezeguet as an Al-Riyadh player is now expected to take place immediately after Egypt’s World Cup journey comes to an end.

If completed as expected, the move will mark a new chapter in Trezeguet’s career as he prepares to join the growing number of high-profile players moving to the Saudi Pro League.

For Al-Riyadh, the signing would represent a significant statement of intent as they continue to strengthen their squad with experienced international talent ahead of the new season.
