‘The Legend is Back': CS Sfaxien announce Maaloul's return after 9 Years with Ahly - Africa
Tunisian side CS Sfaxien confirmed the signing of veteran left-back Ali Maaloul in a free transfer on Saturday, marking the end of his nine-year tenure with Egyptian giants Ahly. The 35-year-old Maaloul had announced his departure from Ahly last May, after playing a pivotal role in one of the club's most successful eras. Speculation regarding his next move had been rife, with some suggesting he would retire, while others believed he would return to his childhood club, CS Sfaxien. On Saturday, CS Sfaxien made the announcement official with a video posted on their official Facebook page, headlined 'The Legend is Back.' Maaloul's stint with Ahly was marred by injury, as he underwent surgery in May 2024 to treat a partial tendon tear suffered during a match against Esperance de Tunis. The injury sidelined him for several months, including during the first leg of the CAF Champions League final. Despite signing a contract extension last summer, Maaloul was dropped from the squad to make room for a foreign player. When the transfer window reopened in January, he was not included in coach Marcel Koller's plans., as the club sought to strengthen their attack with a foreign forward. Since joining Ahly in the summer of 2016, Maaloul established himself as a cornerstone of the club's success. He recorded an impressive 51 goals and 83 assists in 287 appearances, earning a special place in the hearts of the club's supporters for his unwavering dedication and loyalty. Over his illustrious time in Cairo, the Tunisian international left behind an unmatched legacy, securing 21 titles, including four CAF Champions League trophies, two CAF Super Cups, six Egyptian Premier League titles, five Egyptian Super Cups, and four Egypt Cup victories. Before his time at Ahly, Maaloul helped CS Sfaxien secure the Tunisian League title in the 2012/13 season. Across 190 appearances for the club, he scored 39 goals and provided 43 assists in all competitions from 2008 to 2016.

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.

Pyramids FC sign Brazilian winger Ewerton on four-year deal - Egyptian Football
Egyptian side Pyramids FC have signed Brazilian winger Ewerton Paixão da Silva from Czech club Baník Ostrava on a four-year contract; the club announced on Monday. The 28-year-old becomes the club's first signing of the summer as the African champions prepare for the new season, which kicks off on 9 August against newly promoted side Wadi Degla. Known simply as Ewerton, the winger is expected to fill the void left by Ibrahim Adel, who joined UAE side Al-Jazira earlier this month. Ewerton was previously linked with a move to Egyptian giants Ahly, who showed interest in January, but the deal fell through amid reports that Ostrava had set a $2.5 million price tag for the player. He scored 16 goals and provided seven assists in 34 appearances in all fronts last season. Pyramids FC are coming off a historic campaign in which they won their first CAF Champions League title and finished runners-up in both the Egyptian Premier League and Egypt Cup. The club face a packed schedule this season, including domestic and continental competitions, as well as representing Africa at the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. They are set to face New Zealand's Auckland City on 14 December at Air Defense Stadium.
