Ahmed Hegazi offered to Pyramids FC as experienced defender eyes Egyptian Premier League return
Egyptian international Ahmed Hegazi has reportedly been offered to Pyramids FC as the experienced centre-back weighs up his next move following his departure from Saudi Arabian side Neom SC.
The 35-year-old is currently available as a free agent, opening the door for a potential return to the Egyptian Premier League after several successful years abroad.
Reports indicate that Pyramids FC are among the clubs presented with the opportunity to sign the veteran defender, although it remains unclear whether the reigning African champions will pursue a deal.
Hegazi is regarded as one of Egypt’s most accomplished defenders, having enjoyed an impressive career with clubs including Ismaily, Fiorentina, West Bromwich Albion, Al Ittihad and most recently Neom SC.
His leadership qualities and wealth of experience have also made him a key figure for the Egyptian national team over the past decade.
A move to Pyramids FC would see Hegazi return to domestic football for the first time in several years and could significantly strengthen the club’s defensive options ahead of the new campaign.
His experience in continental and international competitions would add further quality to a squad that continues to compete for major honours both domestically and in Africa.
The Cairo-based outfit have established themselves as one of the continent’s top clubs in recent seasons and are expected to remain active in the transfer market as they look to build on their recent successes.
While no agreement has been reached, Hegazi’s free-agent status makes him an attractive option for clubs seeking an experienced central defender without paying a transfer fee.
Whether Pyramids decide to move forward with the proposal remains to be seen as the transfer window progresses.
