International defender Akam Hashim is on the verge of transferring to the ranks of Al-Zawraa, after the club's management entered into intensive negotiations with the player over the past few days, amidst a clear desire from the coaching staff to strengthen the defense line before the start of the new season of the Iraqi Stars League.

Akam, whose contract with Al-Shorta has ended, had received an official offer from Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, but he preferred not to take the experience with the "Falcons," confirming that his next destination would either be renewing the contract with Al-Shorta or transferring to Al-Zawraa, which has made the eyes of the "Nawaris" fans await the decisive step.

In a move that sparked a lot of interaction, the official page of Al-Zawraa Club published a cryptic image on social media platforms, containing a direct hint related to the name of the player Akam Hashim, which opened the door for speculation wide, with some considering it a confirmation of the approaching deal, while others interpreted it as a sign of not reaching a final agreement.

Despite the ambiguity surrounding the post, informed sources confirmed that the agreement between the two parties is very close, and that what remains are some contractual details, especially since the player has shown a clear desire to wear the white shirt and represent one of the most prestigious clubs in Iraq, especially after the strong movements of the club in the transfer market.

It is worth noting that Akam Hashim is considered one of the top defenders in Iraq over the past two seasons, having excelled with Al-Shorta and presented impressive defensive levels, which made him among the options of Spanish coach Jesus Casas in the national team.
