Egypt international and Yeni Malatyaspor defender, Karim Hafez, is reportedly on the verge of signing for Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray.
The former Wadi Degla man managed nine assists in 33 matches with Malatyaspor, making him joint-most creative defender in the league and fourth overall.

His performances had reportedly caught the attention of Turkish giants Galatasaray, who apparently already started negotiations with Malatyaspor for the Egyptian’s services.
Now, Haber7 suggests that both parties found an agreement and that Hafez, whose contract with Malatyaspor ends in 2023, will join The Lions this summer.
In case the deal completes, Hafez would be playing alongside countryman and striker Mostafa Mohamed, who arrived from Zamalek last January.
Karim Hafez is considered a journeyman, having played for the likes of Belgian club Lierse SK, Omonia Nicosia of Cyprus, France’s RC Lens, as well as Turkish outfits Istanbul Basaksehir, Kasimpasa, and Yeni Malatyaspor.
On the international level, Hafez has seven caps to his name and was part of the Pharaohs’ team that reached the final of the 2017 AFCON.
