Richard Reda Mostafa Basha (Arabic: ريتشارد رضا مصطفي باشا; born 7 March 2002), known as Richard Basha, is a professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Born in Verona, Italy, to an Egyptian father and Italian mother, Basha started his career with Italian giants AC Milan and Juventus.[2] Due to his father's work, Basha relocated to South Sinai, Egypt, where he played for Sharm El Sheikh Sporting Club.[2] He was soon scouted and signed by Egyptian top division side Al Ahly in 2016.[3]
In 2017, Basha's father stated that he would remain in Egypt with Al Ahly, after interest from former club Juventus.[4] Despite this, Basha did return to Italy, joining Udinese in 2018.[2]
In August 2021, Basha joined Swiss Super League club Lugano.[5]
