Zamalek SC is considering activating the purchase option for winger Mohamed Hamdy Ibrahim, who has been on loan at the club since the summer of 2024.
The Egyptian side is currently assessing the move as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
Following the permanent signing of Moroccan defender Mahmoud Bentayg from AS Saint-Étienne, Zamalek is now turning its attention to finalizing other key transfer decisions.
Hamdy, 22, joined the club on loan from ENPPI, another Egyptian Premier League outfit, and has been under evaluation by Zamalek’s football planning committee and board of directors.
However, before making a final decision, the club is awaiting feedback from head coach José Peseiro.
The Portuguese manager’s opinion will be instrumental in determining whether the White Knights proceed with the acquisition of the promising winger.
Hamdy’s current loan deal is set to expire this summer, while his contract with parent club ENPPI remains valid until June 2027.
His future at Zamalek will hinge on whether the club deems his performances sufficient to warrant a long-term commitment.
The 22-year-old was last in action for Zamalek during their Egyptian League Cup group-stage clash against El Gouna FC.
He started the match and played 75 minutes before being substituted due to physical discomfort.
His contributions have drawn attention, but Zamalek’s decision-makers are carefully weighing their options before proceeding with a permanent transfer.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the club’s recruitment strategy will play a key role in shaping their squad for the coming season.
With Hamdy’s future yet to be resolved, all eyes remain on Zamalek’s next move.
