Zouhair El Moutaraji is close to returning to Morocco: Which club wants to sign him?
A new experience for the Moroccan striker in his homeland Zouhair El Moutaraji is close to returning to Morocco: Which club wants to sign him? After an unsuccessful spell in Egypt with Pharco FC, which ended with his contract being terminated after he joined them in 2023 from Bahrain, the 29-year-old Moroccan striker is now considering a return to his hometown in Morocco, with reports suggesting Wydad Casablanca are keen to sign the veteran striker during the current summer transfer window. Previous successful experience with the Red Castle Before achieving all this great success in his professional career outside Morocco, the player had grown up within the corridors of the Red Club and won with them many distinguished championships, including four Moroccan League titles and the CAF Champions League. The player has had several experiences, but they were not very prominent or successful. The most prominent of them were with Olympique Khouribga and Hassania d'Agadir, but his market value has not been at its best recently, having recently reached 250,000 euros.

Zamalek sign Pharco FC forward Ahmed Sherif
Zamalek have officially secured the signature of forward Ahmed Sherif from Pharco FC on a five‑year contract, the Cairo giants announced on Tuesday. The 22-year-old becomes Zamalek's fourth signing of the summer transfer window, following the arrivals of his teammate Amr Nasser on Monday, and goalkeeper El-Mahdi Soliman and Angolan winger Chico Banza on Sunday. Sherif scored 13 goals in 109 games across all competitions for Pharco FC since joining the club from second-tier side Wadi Degla in 2021. The White Knights are revamping their squad as they look to bounce back from a disappointing campaign that saw them finish third in the league and exit the CAF Confederation Cup in the quarter-finals, failing to defend their title. The club began their rebuild last month with the appointment of Belgian coach Yannick Ferrera as their new manager, replacing interim manager Ayman El-Ramady, who had guided the team in the Egypt Cup. The new Egyptian Premier League season is scheduled to kick off in 8 August.

Zamalek conclude league campaign with 2-0 win over Pharco - Egyptian Football
Third-placed Zamalek ended their disappointing Egyptian League season with a 2-0 victory over Pharco FC in the final matchday of the playoff stage at Cairo International Stadium on Saturday. Midfielders Mohamed Shehata and youngster Mohamed El-Sayed scored for Zamalek in each half, securing a morale-boosting result for the White Knights ahead of their Cup final on 5 June against Pyramids. Despite dominating possession in the first half, Zamalek struggled to create clear scoring opportunities. Shehata broke the deadlock in the 26th minute, latching onto a cross from left-back Ahmed Fatouh outside the box to unleash a stunning 25-meter right-footed strike into the bottom-left corner, marking his second league goal of the season. The Cairo-based side continued to face challenges in breaching Pharco's resolute defense, which remained organized in thwarting Zamalek's attempts to extend their lead. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Shehata tested the woodwork with another long-range effort, striking the left post before the ball rebounded off goalkeeper Mohamed Nadim into his grasp. After the break, interim coach Ayman El-Ramady introduced Nasser Maher, Mohamed El-Sayed, and Mostafa El-Zenary for Nabil Emad, Abdallah El-Said, and Omar Gaber. Six minutes into the second half, right-winger Ahmed 'Esho' Abdel-Rahman struck the crossbar with a close-range left-footed shot. El-Ramady's 58th-minute substitution of veteran skipper Mahmoud 'Shikabala' Abdel-Razek proved decisive, as the Zamalek star delivered a precise cross from the left for El-Sayed to tap home from close range. Pharco FC's players appealed for a penalty four minutes later when striker Ahmed Sherif fell in the box, but the referee upheld the decision to continue play following a VAR review. Zamalek dominated the remainder of the match but failed to capitalize on further chances. The result lifted Zamalek to 47 points, finishing 11 points behind league champions Ahly and nine adrift of second-placed Pyramids FC, while Pharco FC retained seventh spot with 32 points. Zamalek now shift focus to their Egypt Cup final showdown against Pyramids FC on Thursday, aiming to secure silverware after a frustrating campaign.
