Transfer bid heats up as Petrojet opens sale of Hamid Hamdan

Palestinian Petrojet forward Hamid Hamdan returns to Cairo tomorrow, after finishing duty with his national team at the Arab Cup.

Petrojet has received several domestic and Arab offers to sell Hamid Hamdan after his impressive showing with the Palestinian side in the Arab Cup.

An inside source told Kooora there is an informal agreement with Zamalek for Hamdan’s move next month at 25 million pounds, but the situation has changed.

Petrojet reportedly holds at least five official offers to sell Hamdan, including Zamalek and Pyramids FC, plus three Arab offers and talks from Al Ahly.

The matter hinges on the player's wish and Petrojet’s aim to maximize value; if offers are equal, priority would go to Zamalek with upfront payment.

The Petrojet management will not block the player’s wish to join any club, noting he wants to stay in Egypt and has declined Arab offers.

Punchline 1: If this deal lands, the transfer window will need a bigger calendar than the pitch; sniper timing, folks.

Punchline 2: If Hamid signs, Petrojet might finally learn what “big fish” really means — and it won’t be in the reservoir.
