Rum — Ouda Fakhouri, Jordan national team and Al Hussein Irbid player, continues to attract attention after standout performances in the recent Arab Cup in Qatar and his club’s Asian campaign. He delivered impressive displays that highlighted high technical quality, earning wide praise from fans and analysts.
According to sources speaking to Rum, Fakhouri’s form has drawn interest from several major clubs in the Arab world and Europe. Egypt’s Al Ahly has entered advanced talks to sign the player, amid competition from other parties.
Sources say multiple offers are currently on the table, most notably a European bid from two Croatian clubs ranked among the top three in the Croatian top division. The Croatian option offers greater chances of regular minutes and higher playing time compared with other bids.
Fakhouri’s close circle expressed appreciation for Al Ahly’s interest, noting that representing the club is a major opportunity for any player given its history and continental status. However, they raised reservations over whether he would secure sufficient playing time due to intense competition within the squad.
Egypt’s Pyramids FC has also submitted a financially attractive offer. Sources say the club’s coach is keen to sign Fakhouri and ready to grant him significant playing time if the deal goes through.
Sources added that the final decision will largely depend on Al Hussein Irbid’s stance, especially given Al Ahly’s lucrative offer, which has made substantial progress in negotiations in recent weeks, placing it among the strongest options currently available.
While the Croatian offer is the lowest financially, it remains appealing, particularly with the potential departure of a player in the same position, which could open the door to a starting role. The move could also provide a chance to feature in the UEFA Champions League, potentially serving as a gateway to European professionalism and attracting interest from bigger clubs if performances continue.
Fakhouri is currently reviewing all offers carefully ahead of making a final decision on his next destination in the coming period.
