Three Egyptian Premier League clubs Al Ahly, Zamalek FC and Pyramids FC are in a fierce battle for the services of Osama Faisal.
The 24-year-old attacker, who is in the books of fellow Egyptian club Bank Al Ahly has emerged as a top transfer target for numerous clubs following an outstanding performance in the recently concluded campaign.
Osama Faisal racked up 13 goals and provided an assists in 25 appearances across competitions last season. His performance has caught the attention of a host of clubs, who are keen on securing his signature this summer.
Per reports, a major transfer tug-of-war has erupted between Al Ahly, Zamalek, and Pyramids FC over the signature of the rising forward ahead of the 2025/2026 season.
Al Ahly had already initiated contact with Bank Al Ahly prior to their Club World Cup campaign. The club is seeking a strong local forward to rotate with and support Wessam Abou Ali, given their packed domestic and continental schedule.
Pyramids FC have now stepped into the race, especially as Fiston Mayele edges closer to an exit after receiving multiple offers from Gulf and African clubs. Faisal is being considered a viable replacement in the attacking line
Zamalek have also entered the fray, viewing the move as a potential homecoming. Faisal is a product of the club’s academy and previously played for the first team before departing in September 2017. With Seifeddine Jaziri struggling for form, Faisal is seen as a much-needed boost.
Meanwhile, coach Tarek Mostafa has stated he has no objections to Faisal’s departure if a suitable offer arrives and the player wishes to move on.
However, the final say rests with the club’s board, which has set high financial demands for releasing their in-form striker.
