The status of negotiations between Trabzonspor and Hossam Abdel-Meguid
In recent days, news has spread about Trabzonspor's interest in signing Egyptian international defender Hossam Abdel-Maguid, who plays for Bulgarian club Ludogorets, especially after the arrival of German coach Thomas Reis, who previously worked with the player, to lead the Turkish team.
Thomas Reis Takes Over at Trabzonspor
Trabzonspor announced the signing of Thomas Reis for two seasons, after the German coach had previously worked with Hossam Abdel-Maguid at Ludogorets, raising speculation about the possibility of the Egyptian defender moving to the Turkish league.
Samer Salama, Hossam Abdel-Maguid's agent, confirmed that Thomas Reis's departure from Ludogorets does not affect the player's future, noting that Hossam has a strong desire to continue his career in European football, and that his experience with the Bulgarian club is an important step in his career.
Hossam Abdel-Maguid joined Ludogorets during the summer transfer window from Zamalek in a deal worth around €1.5 million, with a sell-on percentage in the future, and his contract with the Bulgarian club runs until the summer of 2029.
Hossam Abdel-Maguid Continues His Career in Europe
The player is keen to pursue his professional career outside Egypt, as his agent confirmed that he does not wish to return to the Egyptian league at this time, while Hossam continues to participate with Ludogorets under a new coaching staff following Reis's departure.
Therefore, Thomas Reis's move to Trabzonspor represents an important development in the relationship between the former coach and Hossam Abdel-Maguid, but there is currently no reliable information indicating that Trabzonspor has begun official negotiations to acquire the Egyptian defender.

Sources close to the players confirm Al Ahly's interest in signing the player to strengthen their defense, either in the upcoming winter transfer window or in the summer, with the possibility that Al Ahly could finalize all arrangements during January and complete the deal next summer.
