Racing Santander are being linked with a move for Egyptian attacking midfielder Belal Ateya as the Spanish club reportedly explore emerging talent for their LaLiga2 campaign.
The 18-year-old, currently on the books of El Ahly Youth, is rumoured to be under consideration by Racing, with the move listed with an unspecified probability (“?”) and no fee or contract details disclosed. With no market valuation recorded for Ateya, speculation has focused on whether the teenager could be available at low cost or potentially become a free agent if his situation in Cairo shifts.
Ateya is registered as an attacking midfield player, operating primarily in the No.10 role and preferring his right foot. He wears the number 53 shirt for El Ahly Youth and is part of the El Ahly Cairo youth set-up, representing one of Egypt’s most prestigious academies. Born on 1 January 2008 and listed at 1.70m tall, he fits the profile of a technical, mobile playmaker who could be developed further in a European environment such as Spain’s second tier.
There is no confirmed transfer agreement between El Ahly Youth and Racing, and neither club has publicly clarified negotiations, meaning this remains firmly in the realm of transfer rumour. Details such as his current contract duration, potential transfer fee and personal terms are also unknown, adding another layer of uncertainty around his immediate future.
No recent competitive match details – including opponents, dates, scorelines or individual performances – are available in the current data, leaving scouts and supporters to judge him largely on his profile and potential rather than documented displays.
If a move to Racing were eventually to materialise, it could mark a significant step in Ateya’s development, offering a pathway from Egyptian youth football into a major European league structure and potentially shaping both his reputation and long-term career trajectory.
