Samer Salama, agent of Hossam Abd El-Magid, told FilGoal.com: "Al-Ahly has not contacted me yet regarding signing Hossam Abd El-Magid, as rumored."
He added, "The player is fully focused on competing with his club for the Bulgarian league title."
He concluded, "Reports about his return to the Egyptian league are baseless."
Hossam had previously clarified the possibility of his return to the Egyptian league via Al-Ahly: "A bridge to Al-Ahly? Al-Ahly is a great club and any player wishes to play for them, but my situation is different. If I were thinking of joining them, I would have waited until the remaining six months of my contract with Zamalek ended and then left for free, but I didn't."
Since joining his team, Hossam has only participated for 6 minutes as a substitute against Slavia Sofia.
Hossam Abd El-Magid joined Zamalek's first team after being promoted from the youth sector in summer 2019, and his contract with Zamalek expires next summer.
Hossam Abd El-Magid played 171 matches for Zamalek, scoring 15 goals and providing one assist.
With Zamalek, he won three Egyptian Premier League titles, two Egypt Cup titles, one African Super Cup, and one CAF Confederation Cup title.
Hossam Abd El-Magid represented Egypt at the 2026 World Cup, participating in two matches without scoring or assisting any goals, and scored the decisive penalty kick to defeat Australia in the Round of 32.
