Hamad Hamdan: Four Egyptian Clubs Circle a Potential Winter Signing
Hamad Hamdan’s potential destination sparks a four-club race in Egypt.

Overview

Palestinian midfielder Hamad Hamdan, star at Petrojet, has emerged as the winter transfer story after shining with his club and with his country in the Arab Cup held in Doha, Qatar.

Sources to Kooora say Petrojet has calls from six clubs, including Qatar's Al Shamal and Libyan Al Ahli Tripoli, plus a four-club Egyptian quartet: Zamalek, Pyramids, Al Ahly and Bank Al Ahly.

He has not yet decided his destination nor signed with any club, and rumors of a deal with Al Ahly are not true.

The player reportedly wants to stay in Egypt, so the decision will likely come from a comparison among the four clubs.

There was earlier an agreement with Zamalek for him to join the White Knights next month, but Hamdan's preference will be decisive, and a meeting is planned to settle the matter.

In closing, Hamdan has not determined his position yet and has told all clubs he will settle his future with Petrojet first.

In this transfer chase, Hamdan is the sniper—calm, precise, and waiting for the perfect moment to pull the trigger on his next club. No misfires yet, unless his agent brings coffee instead of contracts.

And if you think this saga has too many twists, relax—even a sniper needs a scope, and in football, the scope is the press conference. Boom, suspense, and maybe a goal-sized ending.
