Soccer Laduma reports that Pyramids FC continues to monitor Assad Al Hamlawi and may submit a new transfer offer for the Universitatea Craiova striker. The Egyptian club is reportedly prepared to offer the player approximately one million euros per season plus performance bonuses. This proposed financial package would represent a substantial increase over his current earnings at the Romanian side.

Al Hamlawi currently earns approximately 300,000 euros annually at Universitatea Craiova. Transfermarkt lists his market value at two million euros. The potential move to Egypt would more than triple his current salary if the reported terms are accurate and accepted by all parties involved in the negotiation.

This is not the first time Pyramids FC has pursued the striker. Both Pyramids FC and Al-Ahly Cairo expressed interest in Al Hamlawi during the summer transfer period. However, negotiations at that time did not reach a concrete result. Universitatea Craiova had requested five million euros for the player during the summer window, a figure that prevented a deal from being finalized.

Al Hamlawi has recorded 11 goals in 19 matches for Universitatea Craiova across all competitions this season. His goal-scoring record has maintained interest from clubs outside Romania despite the earlier failed negotiations. The striker remains under contract with the Romanian club while these reports of renewed interest circulate.

Pyramids FC have won eight of their first eight league matches this season. The club's strong start to the domestic campaign coincides with these reports of continued interest in strengthening their attacking options. Any future transfer activity would depend on agreement between the clubs regarding the fee, as well as personal terms with the player.
