The management of Saudi Al-Hazm Club has approached finalizing the deal to contract with Egyptian midfielder Ahmed Abdelkader, after Al-Ahly Club of Egypt agreed to sell the player's contract for one million US dollars, according to informed sources.

This move comes as part of Al-Hazm's efforts to strengthen the team's ranks with high-quality players ahead of the new season in the Saudi Roshan League, as the newly promoted club aims to establish itself early in the competitions.

Abdelkader is considered one of the standout names in the Egyptian league in recent years, having previously had a successful professional stint in the Czech Republic before returning to Al-Ahly, contributing to several local and continental championships.

It is expected that the official procedures will be completed in the coming hours in preparation for the announcement of the deal, making Ahmed Abdelkader the first Egyptian player to join Al-Hazm in the current edition of the Saudi league.
