Polish side Pogon Szczecin are discussing a possible move for Egyptian centre-back Omar Fayed with his parent club Fenerbahçe.
According to reports, the clubs had opened talks and expected the player’s future to become clearer soon. Pogon are said to be in the market for a young defender who can develop at the club and potentially generate a future transfer profit, and have identified Omar Fayed as a potential target.
The 23-year-old would provide competition for Dimitrios Keramitsis and Attila Szalai at the heart of Spanish manager Oscar García’s defence.
Pogon previously tried to sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Alfie Dorrington but failed to complete either move. Moreover, the Polish club faced Fenerbahce in a pre-season friendly on July 11, with the Turkish side winning 4-0.
Turkish outlet Fanatik separately reported that Fenerbahçe are planning to part ways with the defender, as “interest emerges from Egypt and other European leagues.”
Fayed joined Fenerbahçe from Arab Contractors in August 2023 and signed a four-year contract running until June 2027.
He has yet to make a competitive first-team appearance for the Istanbul club, spending each of the past three seasons on loan.
The defender played 21 matches across all competitions for Serbian side Novi Pazar during the 2023/24 campaign before recording 15 appearances for Belgian club Beerschot the following season.
Omar Fayed then joined Arouca on loan, making 10 appearances for the Portuguese club before returning to Fenerbahçe.
An injury interrupted his campaign and kept him out between January and the latter stages of the season.
In 2024, Fayed started five matches as the Olympic team reached the semi-finals of the Paris 2024 Games before finishing fourth. He was, however, selected for the team of the tournament.
