Egyptian central midfielder Emam Ashour of Al Ahly is being linked with a summer move to Bundesliga side Stuttgart, with the 28-year-old’s situation in Cairo attracting growing transfer speculation.
Data from Transfermarkt, scraped on 19 June 2026, lists Ashour as an Al Ahly player with no recorded contract expiry date, fuelling talk that he could become available on a cut‑price deal or even move on as a free agent if his terms have quietly run down. The probability of a transfer is currently marked only as “?”, underlining that negotiations, if any, are at an early and uncertain stage.
Stuttgart are understood to be monitoring the right-footed midfielder, who stands at 1.80m and is valued at €4.00m. Any bid at or around that valuation would represent relatively low risk for a Bundesliga club seeking depth and experience in central midfield.
Born in El Senbellawein on 20 February 1998, Ashour has established himself in Egypt’s Premier League with Al Ahly, wearing the number 22 shirt and operating primarily as a central midfielder. He is listed with Egyptian nationality only, and has featured domestically and on the continental stage, with his profile rising through consistent performances.
Recent match data has highlighted Ashour’s role for Al Ahly, including a league fixture in the Egyptian Premier League this season, where he featured in a tight encounter that underlined his box‑to‑box qualities in a narrow Al Ahly win. His current market value of €4.00m reflects that he is seen as being in his peak years.
With the Bundesliga often a gateway for African-based players into Europe’s top tier, a switch to Stuttgart would mark a significant step in Ashour’s career and could reshape his reputation from local standout to established European midfielder if the move eventually materialises.
