Tick-Tock in Cairo: Pyramids Close to Signing Hamdan, But Two Conditions Delay Official Reveal
Hamed Hamdan inches closer to joining Pyramids after a deal with Petrojet

Transfer Update

Pyramids FC is nearing an official announcement of signing Palestinian midfielder Hamed Hamdan from Petrojet, in the current winter transfer window.

The club has completed a deal with Petrojet for Hamdan, awaiting the formal unveiling of the transaction.

A source told Kooora that Hamdan had signed transfer contracts with Pyramids, but insisted on two conditions before any activation.

The first condition requires converting his dues into his bank account, and also transferring the transfer value to Petrojet before the official announcement.

The source added that the official announcement has been delayed due to the Egyptian banks’ holiday, but both dues and the deal’s value are expected to be settled by Sunday, after which the signing will be announced.

Hamdan has been training solo at a gym near his Cairo home and will not join Pyramids’ sessions until the official confirmation.

Punchline: If patience were a player, Hamdan would win 'Most Delayed Transfer'—and apparently the banks are the referees.
