Pyramids FC are on the verge of confirming one of their most significant signings of the summer transfer window after completing the necessary steps to bring in Egyptian international defender Eyad El Askalany from Russian side Rostov.

El Askalany Nears Completion

Transfer Details

The deal will see El Askalany join Pyramids on a one-season loan, with an option for the club to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign. The transfer follows extensive negotiations, with Pyramids targeting a defender capable of combining domestic experience with valuable exposure to European football.

The former Ismaily defender had attracted interest from several Egyptian Premier League clubs, including Al Ahly. However, the Cairo giants ultimately decided not to pursue the deal for technical and financial reasons, allowing Pyramids to move quickly and finalize the agreement.

Pyramids are not expected to stop there, as the club continues to work on additional signings during the current transfer window in a bid to build a squad capable of competing for both domestic and continental titles next season.
