Gaber Kamel: Abo Qir Fertilizers complete move for Pharco left-back in Premier League deal

Abo Qir Fertilizers have completed the signing of Egyptian left-back Gaber Kamel from Pharco FC in a permanent move within the Egyptian Premier League. The 29-year-old defender joins with an estimated market value of 150k, in a deal registered on 2026-07-04, with the fee officially undisclosed and listed as ?.

The transfer, confirmed in the registration data for the 26/27 season, ends Kamels long association with Pharco, where he has been on the books since 2014. He arrives at Abo Qir Fertilizers as a specialist left-back, providing a natural left-footed option on the defensive flank for the Premier League side.

Kamels move is entirely domestic, but it keeps him in Egypts top flight, with Abo Qir Fertilizers competing in the Premier League. Both his former club Pharco and his new employers are Egyptian sides, meaning he remains in his home country rather than moving abroad. The switch nonetheless represents a change of environment at a stage of his career when his experience and positional maturity are likely to be central to his value.

Born in Alexandria on 25/08/1996, Kamel has spent his professional career in Egypt. After initially being registered from an unknown club to Pharco in 2014, he gained experience through a loan spell at El Hammam in the 2017-18 season. That move was formalised as an active loan transfer from Pharco to El Hammam on 2017-08-17, before he returned to Pharco at the end of that loan on 2018-06-30.

Over more than a decade in Pharcos system, Kamel developed into a reliable domestic defender, with his primary role fixed at left-back. His left foot is listed as his preferred side, underlining his suitability for wide defensive duties and potentially for overlapping play on the flank, although no detailed performance statistics or match-by-match data are provided in the record.

The defenders market value trajectory reflects a career of steady relevance at Premier League level. Valued at 100,000 euros in late 2021 while at Pharco, he rose to 150,000 the following year and peaked at 200,000 in early 2023. Although his value later dipped back to 100,000, it recovered to 150,000 again by the end of 2025 and remained at that level in the most recent assessment on 2026-05-20, shortly before his transfer.

No details are available on the length of Kamels contract with Abo Qir Fertilizers, and there is no recorded expiry date in the registration data. That absence leaves open the possibility of flexibility in his longer-term future, including a potential free-agent status later on, but for now he is officially registered with the Premier League club.

Kamels national team entry is listed as Abo Qir Fertilizers, indicating no senior international career is recorded in this dataset, but his domestic profile and experience in Egypts top tier present him as a seasoned local option. As he begins life at Abo Qir Fertilizers from 2026-07-04, his performances in the Premier League will determine whether his current 150k valuation is a ceiling or a platform for renewed growth in the latter stages of his career.
