Pyramids FC €2.5 mln bid for Darmstadt striker Lidberg rejected - Egyptian Football
Egyptian Premier League side Pyramids FC's €2.5 million offer for Swedish striker Isac Lidberg was rejected by German 2. Bundesliga club SV Darmstadt 98, according to a report by Sky Sport DE's Florian Plettenberg on Thursday.
The bid, which included a 10 percent sell-on clause in favour of Darmstadt, marks the latest move by the ambitious Cairo-based club to bolster their squad following their maiden CAF Champions League triumph in April 2025.
Lidberg, who joined Darmstadt in the summer of 2024, has emerged as a key asset for the "Lilien," with his aerial prowess and clinical finishing drawing interest from across the continent.
The 23-year-old forward is reportedly considering the offer. Still, Darmstadt's sporting director, Paul Fernie, has signalled a firm stance, indicating negotiations will only resume for an "exceptional offer" exceeding the initial proposal.
Pyramids FC have risen to prominence in recent years, finishing second in the Egyptian Premier League Championship play-offs in the 2024-25 season and defeating South African side Mamelodi Sundowns to claim their first CAF Champions League title.
