Egyptian media revealed in recent hours that Zamalek club is close to finalizing the deal to sign Iraqi international forward Mohanad Ali, a player from Al-Shorta, in preparation for the upcoming season of the Egyptian Premier League.

According to the same reports, the Zamalek management has completed most of the details of the agreement with the player and is only waiting to finalize some administrative matters with his current club, while it is expected that the club will officially announce the deal if completed in the coming days.

Mohanad Ali is considered one of the most prominent attacking names in the Iraqi league this season, having scored 25 goals in 28 matches with Al-Shorta, providing a remarkable performance that has attracted the attention of several clubs in the region.

It is likely that his previous experience in foreign leagues, whether in Qatar with Al-Duhail and Al-Siliya, or in Europe with Aris of Greece and Portimonense of Portugal, played a role in Zamalek's preference to sign him.

It is worth noting that the deal has not been officially concluded yet and remains within the scope of "media reports", awaiting official confirmation from either party in the upcoming period.
