Agent Breaks Silence on Ahmed Abdul Qader’s Transfer Links: Zamalek, Pyramids, and the Clause That Won’t Go Away
Agent addresses transfer chatter as sanctions loom over potential moves.

Context

Ahmed Yahya, the agent for Ahmed Abdul Qader, has publicly addressed rumors linking the 26-year-old Iraqi winger to moves to Zamalek or Pyramids FC. Abdul Qader left Al Ahly and joined Karama in January on a season-and-a-half deal, seeking regular game time.

At the start of the season, he did not feature regularly for Al Ahly, which prompted the January switch to Karama in pursuit of minutes and momentum in his professional journey.

Current status and implications

So far this season, Abdul Qader has appeared in four Iraqi Premier League matches, contributing three goals (two scored, one assisted). Rumors suggested Karama could act as a stepping stone toward a move to Zamalek or Pyramids, but several hurdles remain.

Zamalek’s current FIFA sanctions prevent new signings for now; however, sanctions could be lifted if outstanding payments across fourteen cases are resolved in due course.

The agent also touched on a contract clause that allegedly gives Al Ahly priority to sign the player if an offer arrives, provided they match the offer. He noted the clause exists but hinted it is not automatically binding in every circumstance.

Yahya stressed that Abdul Qader aims to continue his professional career beyond the Egyptian league and that any future move would depend on circumstances and the player’s wishes.

Al Ahly’s rights to retain the player’s services in the future were underscored by the agent, who outlined the ongoing strategic considerations for all parties involved.
