Egypt international Mahmoud Trezeguet has arrived in Qatar ahead of completing a move to Al-Rayyan from Turkish outfit Trabzonspor.

The 29-year-old was left out of Trabzonspor’s squad set to face Eyüpspor on Sunday after agreeing terms with Al-Rayyan over a summer move.

Trezeguet has already made seven appearances for the Turkish side this season, but after failing to guide them into the group stages of either the Europa League or the Conference League, he opted to find a new challenge elsewhere.

Reports emerged linking him with a move to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Fatah; however, it seems like he chose another Middle Eastern club in Al-Rayyan.

The move will see Trezeguet end his nine-year stay in Europe, which started with a move to Anderlecht from Al Ahly back in 2015.

Trezeguet also had spells with Belgian club Mouscron, Turkish clubs Kasimpasa, Basaksehir, and Trabzonspor as well as Premier League side Aston Villa.

He will now become Al-Rayyan’s seventh summer signing after names like David García from Osasuna and Julien De Sart from KAA Gent.

The club also has several well-known players, most notably Sofiane Boufal, Rodrigo, and Thiago Mendes.

This season, Al-Rayyan find themselves eighth on the league table after a disappointing start that saw them win just one from their opening three games.
