In preparation for his move to Al Riyadh...

Officially... Al Ahly Egypt separates from 'Trezeguet'

Al Ahly Egypt announced on Tuesday the termination of the contract with Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet, the first-team football player, following friendly discussions and consultations and a financial settlement governed by the distinguished relationship between the player and his club.

Al Ahly Egypt thanked Trezeguet for the past period during which he exerted all efforts to contribute with his teammates to achieve the best results at all levels.

The Egyptian international expressed his full gratitude to Al Ahly Egypt and its board of directors for the attention and appreciation he received, and also expressed his gratitude and love for the loyal Al Ahly fans, whom he cherishes and to whom he owes much support and backing throughout his football career, according to what the Al Ahly media center stated in a statement on its official X account.

Saudi football fans are awaiting the announcement of Trezeguet's joining Al Riyadh.

Bandar Al Muqbil, president of Saudi club Al Riyadh, recently stated that they have finalized the deal for Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet, and nothing remains but the official announcement after reaching an agreement with Al Ahly Egypt.

Trezeguet had returned to Al Ahly in June 2025 after a professional journey lasting 10 years. The 31-year-old succeeded in excelling individually, becoming Al Ahly's top scorer in the league and the African Champions League, despite only winning the local Super Cup.

Trezeguet is scheduled to join Al Riyadh immediately after the official announcement; the club is currently in a training camp in Austria.

Al Riyadh had started its camp in Austria on July 8 and will continue until the 28th of the same month, during which it is scheduled to play several friendly matches.

Al Riyadh's management had begun the first steps of preparation for the new sports season by renewing the contract of Brazilian Mauricio Dulac.

This step aims to ensure the stability of Al Riyadh's coaching staff and continue working on the ambitious sports project aimed at building a strong identity for the team.

Al Riyadh had secured its survival in the Saudi Roshn League after winning the last round against Al-Akhdoud, finishing the competition in 15th place.

The Saudi Roshn League season kicks off on August 13, 2026, and will conclude on May 29, 2027.
