According to information revealed to Pan-Africa Football, Pyramids FC did not activate the buyout clause in Nigerian winger Awujoola’s loan agreement before the end of April, as stipulated in the terms of the contract. The Nigerian winger will return to Ceramica Cleopatra next season.

According to the same sources, Sodiq Awujoola’s purchase option was for $2 million and expired on April 30. If Pyramids FC did not activate the option before that date, they would not be able to sign him for that amount. Awujoola spent the current season on loan from Ceramica Cleopatra to Pyramids FC and contributed to the club’s victory in the 2024-2025 CAF Champions League.

With Pyramids FC, he played 25 matches, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists. The 27-year-old joined Smouha SC in 2021 and after two seasons with the Alexandria club, he joined Ceramica Cleopatra FC. Since joining the Egyptian Premier League, Awujoola has made 112 appearances in all competitions, scoring 31 goals and providing 23 assists while winning two trophies.
