Bank El Ahly in advanced talks to sign Ayman Amir Abdelaziz after الزمالك omission

Bank El Ahly have opened advanced negotiations to sign الزمالك forward Ayman Amir Abdelaziz after the young striker was left out of the Cairo club’s initial squad list for next season.

The 21-year-old, who was promoted to the الزمالك first team two seasons ago, is now weighing up his options amid interest from both Egypt and abroad, with Bank El Ahly pushing to secure his services for the new campaign.

FilGoal.com understands that Bank El Ahly have moved quickly following confirmation that Abdelaziz was not registered in الزمالك’s first squad list, and discussions between the two parties have progressed significantly.

Interest from Turkey

In addition to the Egyptian Premier League side’s approach, Abdelaziz has also received an offer from a Turkish club, adding an overseas dimension to his decision over the next step in his career.

The identity of the Turkish team has not been disclosed, but the proposal gives the forward the possibility of making his first move to European football.

Abdelaziz previously had a taste of the Turkish game when he spent a trial period with Fenerbahce in 2024, an experience that could influence his assessment of the latest interest from Turkey.

Limited chances at الزمالك

Despite being promoted from the youth ranks to الزمالك’s senior squad two seasons ago, Abdelaziz has struggled for playing time with the first team and has not featured regularly for the White Knights.

FilGoal.com had earlier reported that the forward was among a number of young players omitted from الزمالك’s opening registration list for the coming season, a decision that has effectively placed him on the transfer market.

The move by Bank El Ahly comes as the club look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign, with Abdelaziz viewed as a potential long-term investment rather than merely short-term cover.

Talks are ongoing, with Bank El Ahly aiming to reach an agreement with the player and his current club, while the Turkish offer remains on the table as an alternative route for the youngster’s career.
