A source from Al Ahly clarifies the truth about signing Hossam Abdel-Maguid during the January transfer window.

A source within Al Ahly has ruled out the possibility of signing Hossam Abdel-Meguid, the national team player and Ludogorets player, in the upcoming transfer window, particularly in January. The source indicated that the player is not part of the club's plans during the upcoming winter transfer period, at least not for now.

The source added that the club aims to strengthen its defense and is currently negotiating with several players, but Hossam Abdel-Meguid is not among them. He confirmed that there are local and foreign players being considered to bolster Al Ahly's defense in January, while Hossam Abdel-Meguid, who moved from Zamalek to the Bulgarian league at the beginning of the current season, has no place in the plans at all.
