RSC Anderlecht are being linked with a move for Zamalek centre-back Hossam Abdelmaguid, with the Belgian side monitoring the Egyptian’s situation ahead of a potential summer transfer.
The 24-year-old defender, valued at €1.80m on Transfermarkt, is currently on the books of Cairo giants Zamalek, where he wears the number five shirt and operates primarily as a right-footed centre-back. Data recorded on 19 April 2026 lists no contract expiry date for Abdelmaguid, prompting speculation that he could become a free agent if his current terms have run down or are close to doing so.
The mooted switch would see Abdelmaguid move from the Egyptian Premier League to Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League, with Anderlecht identified as the interested club. The reported probability of the transfer is listed only as “?”, underlining that negotiations – if any – remain at an early, speculative stage and no agreement has been reached.
Born on 30 April 2001 and standing at 1.94m, Abdelmaguid has built a reputation at Zamalek as a physically imposing central defender. He has been deployed exclusively at centre-back and is part of the club’s set-up that competes domestically in Egypt’s top flight. His national team is listed as Zamalek SC in the available data, with his only nationality recorded as Egyptian.
Recent statistics and detailed match records are not disclosed in the current dataset, and there is no officially registered contract end date, leaving open the possibility that he could move either for a modest fee in line with his €1.80m valuation or, if his deal has expired, as a free agent.
If a move to Anderlecht does materialise, it would mark Abdelmaguid’s first venture into European football and could prove a pivotal step in shaping his career trajectory and international profile.
