Egypt forward Mahmoud Trezeguet set for Al Riyadh move as Al Ahly exit nears completion

Egypt international forward Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet is on the verge of completing a move from Egyptian giants Al Ahly to Saudi Pro League club Al Riyadh, with the transfer expected to be finalised within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Negotiations between the two clubs have advanced significantly, with both parties now believed to be in the final stages of reaching an agreement for the attacker’s departure.

Trezeguet, who returned to Al Ahly in 2025 after years abroad, is set to begin a new chapter in Saudi Arabia as Al Riyadh look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the upcoming campaign.

The 31-year-old has enjoyed a distinguished career, representing clubs across Europe and the Middle East while also becoming a key figure for the Egyptian national team. His experience, versatility and ability to operate across the frontline have made him an attractive target for the Saudi club.

Al Ahly had been counting on Trezeguet’s quality and leadership following his return to the club, but the latest developments indicate that the player is now close to sealing a move away from the Cairo-based giants.

The final details of the agreement are being completed, with an official announcement expected once all contractual procedures are concluded.

A successful transfer would see Trezeguet join the growing list of high-profile players moving to the Saudi Pro League as clubs continue to attract established international talent.
