Crazy hours experienced by Jeddah FC fans on the last day of the summer transfer season, after getting close to signing West Bromwich Albion defender Ahmed Hegazy.
Hijazi informed the Jeddah Federation of his agreement to move to its ranks before the end of the last day of the summer transfer season in Saudi Arabia. (Read more)
FilGoal.com learned that Hegazy had received a tempting offer from the Jeddah Federation during the past days, and the Saudi club had already contacted West Brom and obtained his approval to start negotiations with the Egyptian international defender.
West Brom has agreed to the Saudi offer, which amounts to nearly 4 million euros, especially with only two seasons remaining in the contract for the 29-year-old defender.
Although Hijazi’s desire was to continue with West Brom, especially after the team’s return to the Premiership, the meeting that he held with Slavin Bilic, the coach, accelerated the decision to leave.
Bilic told his Egyptian defender that he would not guarantee his participation mainly if he continued with the team, and therefore the best would be his departure to the Jeddah Federation.
Bilic Lahjazi also spoke positively about Al-Ittihad, who previously trained and lived in Jeddah.
FilGoal.com was unique about the agreement between Al Ittihad and Hijazi, after the Saudi club sent the contracts on Friday to the Egyptian defender, awaiting his signature. (Read details)
On Monday, Hijazi participated in a goalless draw with Burnley, in his first appearance after returning to the Premier League.
It is noteworthy that the summer transfer season in Saudi Arabia ends today, October 25.
There are two seasons remaining in Hijazi’s 29-year-old contract with West Brom.
