Getafe and Celta Vigo eye move for Egypt goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir after World Cup breakthrough

Egyptian goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir has attracted serious transfer interest from Spain, with La Liga sides Getafe and Celta Vigo reportedly monitoring the Al Ahly shot-stopper following his impressive performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

As per reports, both clubs have been tracking the 25-year-old since Egypt’s international friendly against Spain in March, with his recent World Cup displays further strengthening their interest ahead of the summer transfer window.

Both Getafe and Celta Vigo are now preparing to make formal approaches to Al Ahly SC in a bid to secure the signature of the Egyptian international goalkeeper, whose stock has risen significantly on the global stage.

Shobeir has been one of the standout performers for Egypt national football team during the tournament, establishing himself as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper across the opening two group-stage matches.

He conceded just two goals in those fixtures, first helping Egypt secure a 1-1 draw against Belgium before playing a key role in a 3-1 victory over New Zealand, results that have positioned the Pharaohs strongly in Group G.

His composure, shot-stopping ability and command of his area have drawn praise from analysts, with scouts reportedly impressed by his consistency under pressure on football’s biggest stage.

Shobeir is expected to retain his place in goal for Egypt’s decisive final group match against Iran, where the Pharaohs need at least a draw to confirm qualification for the round of 32.

The growing European interest adds to reports that clubs in the English Premier League are also monitoring the goalkeeper, underlining his emergence as one of Africa’s most sought-after young talents.

For Al Ahly, the potential summer interest presents a major decision, as the club looks to balance retaining key players with the increasing demand from top European leagues.

With the World Cup still ongoing, Shobeir’s performances in the final group fixture could further influence the level of interest and urgency from potential suitors ahead of what is shaping up to be a busy transfer window.

As Egypt push for continued success in the tournament, their number one goalkeeper now finds himself at the centre of growing European attention.
