Ahmed Eid is being linked with a controversial switch from El Masry to Egyptian rivals Ahly SC, with the move currently rated at a 50% probability according to transfer data.
The 24-year-old right-back, valued at €350,000, is under contract at El Masry but has no publicly listed expiry date, raising the possibility that any deal could involve a relatively modest fee or even develop into a free-agent scenario if his situation changes. Both clubs compete in the Egyptian Premier League, making the potential transfer one of the more eye-catching domestic storylines of the current rumour mill.
Eid, born on 2 January 2001 in Fayoum, has rebuilt his market value steadily at El Masry, climbing from €150,000 in April 2024 to €350,000 by December 2025. His consistent role as a right-footed defender for the Port Said side appears to have revived interest from one of the country’s biggest clubs, with Ahly reportedly assessing him as a relatively low-cost option to bolster their defensive depth.
The Egyptian defender’s career path underlines the intrigue around this prospective move. A product of El Ahly Cairo’s U19 ranks before crossing the divide to Zamalek’s youth system in 2015, he later graduated to Zamalek’s first team and had loan spells at Ismaily SC and Enppi SC. His permanent move to El Masry in August 2023 has coincided with a stabilisation of his form and value in the top flight.
With no confirmed contract end date and his stock rising, Eid’s future remains open. A switch to Ahly would mark a significant chapter in a career that has already taken him through several of Egypt’s leading clubs and could yet elevate his reputation further if the rumoured deal materialises.
