Saleh Nasr (Arabic: صالح نصر; born 7 December 1999) is an Egyptian professional footballer who plays as a left-winger for Skënderbeu.
Career
Youth career
Born in Cairo, Egypt, Nasr began his career in the academy recommended to him by his relative, who played in the youth ranks of Tala'ea El Gaish.[2] He was scouted by former professional player Mohamed Thabet, and joined the academy of one of Thabet's former teams, El-Entag El-Harby, shortly thereafter.[2] Having played against them at youth level, he was brough into the Al Ahly academy after four years with El-Entag El-Harby.[2]
Al Ahly
After a slow start to his career at Al Ahly, his second season was more productive, and he scored 33 goals in 31 games in the 2017–18 season.[2][3] He followed this up with 37 goals in 33 games the following year, and was invited to play in a friendly match for the first team, playing ten minutes.[2] As a result of his fine form for Al Ahly's youth teams, Tunisian club ES Sahel made an official offer for him.[2]
In December 2020, Wadi Degla announced the signing of Nasr on a season-long loan.[4] He managed seven league appearances before returning to Al Ahly, with the club disappointed with the lack of games he played, immediately making him available for loan again, with first-team coach Pitso Mosimane requesting that he leave on loan to gain experience.[5] The following year, in September 2022, having failed to find a suitable club to sign Nasr, he was released by Al Ahly.[6]
Move to Europe
Following his release, he moved to Armenia, signing with Gandzasar. After a successful first season, he scored 32 goals in 21 games the following year, helping his side to the Armenian First League title. He was the third-highest goal-scorer worldwide, behind Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo.[7] Following these exploits, he was signed by Albanian Kategoria Superiore club Teuta in August 2024.[8] However, he was unable to replicate his goal-scoring form, and after 3 goals in 19 league appearances, he left the club in February 2025.[9]
Having joined fellow Kategoria Superiore club Skënderbeu, Nasr scored 7 goals in his first 8 games. Though unable to prevent Skënderbeu from being relegated to the Kategoria e Parë, this form led him to be linked with a move to Egnatia.[10] He ultimately remained with Skënderbeu, and continued his goal-scoring form, which reportedly drew the attention of his former club Al Ahly.[11]
Style of play
Nasr described his best position as left-wing, though he is also comfortable playing as a centre-forward.[2] Growing up he idolised Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Barakat and Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo.[3]
Personal life
In August 2025, while at Skënderbeu, Nasr was attacked by two men, who hit him repeatedly over the head before raping him.[12][13] The two men were arrested by Korça police, with three others who were present also prosecuted.[12]
