In a notable move, Egyptian winger Mahmoud Hassan, widely recognized by his nickname 'Trezeguet', has joined the Saudi Pro League club Al-Riyadh on a free transfer. This follows the termination of his previous contract with the Egyptian side Al-Ahly, as revealed by the club in an announcement on Tuesday.
