In a notable development in the summer transfer market, local media reports have revealed that international striker Ayman Hussein is close to transferring to Al-Karma Club, coming from Al-Khor Club in Qatar on loan, as part of the Iraqi team's efforts to strengthen its attacking line before the start of the new season of the Iraqi Stars League.

According to some local media outlets close to the club, negotiations between Al-Karma's management and Al-Khor Club have reached advanced stages, with a mutual desire from both parties to finalize the deal in the coming days, which could make Ayman Hussein one of the most prominent signings in the local league during the anticipated summer transfer period.

Ayman Hussein is considered one of the most prominent attacking names in Iraqi football in recent years, having previously represented Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya and Al-Shorta locally, before embarking on a professional experience in the Qatari league, where he played for Umm Salal, Al-Murikh, Al-Wakrah, and finally Al-Khor, showcasing remarkable levels and a high scoring sense.

For its part, Al-Karma Club's management is seeking to strengthen the team with players who have international experience, aiming to present a strong season and compete for advanced positions in the standings, especially after securing their stay in the league for another season and establishing their presence among the top teams in Iraq.

Observers believe that Ayman Hussein's addition, if the deal is completed, will represent a significant boost for the team in terms of technical and leadership aspects, especially given his physical presence in the penalty area, along with his international experience with the Iraqi national team and his ability to decide matches in difficult times.

No official statement has yet been issued by Al-Karma's management or the player himself, but current indications confirm that the agreement is moving in the right direction, with details of the deal expected to be revealed in the coming days after administrative and financial matters are finalized.

It is worth noting that the summer transfer period in Iraq will officially start on July 20, 2025, and will extend until September 20, giving clubs ample time to finalize their deals and strengthen their rosters before the start of a new season that is expected to be more competitive and exciting.
