Mahmoud Trezeguet joins Al Riyadh after leaving Al Ahly

Mahmoud Trezeguet has joined Saudi Arabian club Al Riyadh after completing his move from Egyptian side Al Ahly, with the transfer officially announced on the club’s Instagram account.

The agreement confirms the move previously reported exclusively by Africafoot. The Egypt international, who is 31, will continue his career in Saudi Arabia after leaving Al Ahly, one of the clubs covered in the Africa-focused football news service’s daily transfer updates.

Trezeguet is a versatile attacker and will now play in a league that continues to attract some of the biggest names in world football. His estimated market value is €4.5m.

The announcement was published by Al Riyadh on social media, turning the reported agreement into an official transfer. No further details about the contract were provided in the information released.

The move gives Trezeguet a new opportunity outside Egypt as he begins the next stage of his career in the Saudi Arabian championship. His departure from Al Ahly and arrival at Al Riyadh are among the latest developments being followed by Africafoot in its live coverage of African football.

Africafoot’s 12 August 2026 news feed covers transfer rumours, confirmed deals, records and other developments involving African players, whether directly or indirectly. The service presents updates throughout the day, with Trezeguet’s move representing one of the major confirmed developments in its coverage.

Trezeguet’s transfer also highlights the continued interest in players from Africa and the wider appeal of Saudi Arabia as a destination for established footballers. The 31-year-old Egypt international now joins a competition that has attracted growing attention because of the number of high-profile names choosing to continue their careers there.

For Al Ahly, the deal marks the departure of a senior attacking player. For Al Riyadh, it provides the club with an experienced and adaptable forward whose value is currently estimated at €4.5m.

The transfer had first been revealed as an exclusive by Africafoot before Al Riyadh confirmed it through its official Instagram account. Trezeguet will therefore leave Al Ahly to pursue his career in Saudi Arabia, with the move now formally recorded as part of the latest African football news.
