Valencia are being linked with a move for Al Ahly goalkeeper Oufa Shobeir as the Spanish club assess low‑cost options ahead of the summer window.
The 26-year-old Egyptian, currently valued at €1.20m, is reported to be on the radar of the La Liga side, with the move listed as a rumour and the probability of a deal still marked as “?”. Shobeir is contracted to Al Ahly, but with no public information on his contract expiry, speculation has grown that he could be available on relatively favourable terms, or potentially move on as a free agent in the near future if his deal runs down.
Shobeir, born in Giza on 17 March 2000, has emerged from Al Ahly’s system to establish himself as one of the more noted home-based goalkeepers in the Egyptian Premier League. Standing at 1.85m and operating as a right-footed keeper, he wears the number 31 shirt for the Cairo giants and has been part of a squad accustomed to domestic title challenges and continental campaigns.
The Al Ahly stopper, who represents the club rather than the senior national team at international level in the available data, has been active in the current Egyptian Premier League season, with recent outings helping maintain his market valuation around the €1.20m mark. Specific details of his latest performances, including opponents, dates, scorelines and individual displays, are not listed in the data, but his presence in a dominant Al Ahly side has ensured growing attention from abroad.
With Valencia continuing to reshape their squad and monitor emerging markets, Shobeir’s profile as a relatively affordable goalkeeper from North Africa fits the pattern of speculative scouting. Whether the interest hardens into a formal offer remains unclear, but a switch to La Liga would represent a significant step in his career and could prove pivotal in shaping his reputation beyond Egypt if the transfer eventually materialises.
