At just 21 years old, Egyptian goalkeeper Hamza Alaa finds himself on the brink of a potential move to Europe during the upcoming transfer window. Currently plying his trade with Al Ahly, Alaa has reportedly caught the attention of Belgian Jupiler Pro League outfit Union Saint-Gilloise.
Reports from Egyptian outlet Onze Masr suggest that Union Saint-Gilloise is keen to offer Alaa an opportunity to make his European debut.
The club, currently leading the Jupiler Pro League standings as they gear up for the title stages, is already planning for the upcoming season.
With ambitions of solidifying their dominance in the league next season, Union Saint-Gilloise aims to conduct astute transfer business during the summer.
Alaa’s inclusion in their plans underscores their strategic approach to bolstering their squad.
Notably, Alaa was part of the under-23 Egyptian national team that reached the final of the previous U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, showcasing his talent on the continental stage.
According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €50,000, reflecting his potential and the interest he has generated from European clubs.
If the move materializes, it could mark a significant milestone in Alaa’s career, providing him with a platform to showcase his abilities at a higher level of competition in European football.
For Union Saint-Gilloise, securing the services of a promising talent like Alaa could prove to be a shrewd investment as they seek to maintain their position as a force to be reckoned with in Belgian football.
