Momen Atef has completed a permanent move from Petrojet to FC Masar, with the Egyptian defensive midfielder sealing a switch that takes him away from the Egyptian Premier League setup. The transfer was finalised as a standard deal, with no fee disclosed, and his contract with FC Masar runs from 2026-02-02 to 2026-06-30.
The move ends Atef’s stint at Petrojet, where his most recent market valuation stood at €75,000 shortly before the transfer. While the exact financial terms remain unspecified, the deal confirms FC Masar have acquired a 30-year-old specialist in the holding midfield role at the peak of his experience, and Petrojet have lost a player who was part of their 2025–26 squad in Egypt’s top division. With no new expiry date listed beyond 2026-06-30, there is a clear possibility that Atef could become a free agent once this short-term agreement concludes.
Atef joins FC Masar as a right‑footed defensive midfielder with a long track record in Egyptian football. Born on 27 February 1995, he has built a career entirely within Egypt to this point, progressing through several domestic clubs and accumulating top-flight experience. His new club, FC Masar, is registered in Egypt, though the league is listed as “N/A”, underlining that this move takes him out of the established Egyptian Premier League structure he most recently competed in with Petrojet.
The Egyptian midfielder’s career path reflects a steady rise through the national game. After time with Wadi Degla’s U21 side, he moved on loan to Aswan SC in 2015 before making that switch permanent in 2016. A transfer to El Nasr followed in 2017, then another step to El Dakhlia SC in late 2020. From there he joined Wadi Degla FC’s senior team in 2023, moved to Petrojet in 2025 and has now taken the latest step with FC Masar in 2026.
His market value history shows notable fluctuations, from early valuations of €25,000 at Aswan to a peak of €150,000 at El Dakhlia SC in early 2023, before settling at €75,000 at Petrojet by the end of 2025. This trajectory underlines both his durability and the shifts in his career standing as he moved between Egyptian clubs.
Internationally, Atef is registered as Egyptian only, with no indication of dual nationality and no national-team activity recorded in the provided data. His profile therefore remains that of a seasoned domestic professional, now stepping into a new environment with FC Masar that sits outside the clearly defined league ladder of his previous Premier League engagement.
With his contract at FC Masar scheduled to run only until 2026-06-30, the coming months will be crucial. Strong performances could prompt an extension, attract other clubs, or position him for a move as a free agent, potentially reshaping the final phase of his career within or beyond Egypt’s familiar football landscape.
