A well-informed source within Zamalek SC has revealed critical developments in the contract renewal of Abdallah El-Said, the team’s veteran playmaker, whose current deal expires at the end of this season. The club’s management is reportedly keen to secure the future of the experienced star and ensure his continued presence in the squad.According to the source, a preliminary agreement has been reached with El-Said regarding his contract renewal, with negotiations progressing positively. This is driven by the technical staff’s strong belief in the player's value and the significant experience he brings to the pitch—qualities seen as essential to the team's plans for the upcoming season.
The source confirmed that Zamalek’s football administration has decided to hold a decisive meeting with Abdallah El-Said following the team’s upcoming Egyptian Premier League match against Pyramids FC.

It was also noted that El-Said has expressed a strong desire to stay at Zamalek, especially given the considerable support he enjoys from the fans and coaching staff, in addition to the shared ambition of competing for local and continental titles next season.
This move is part of Zamalek’s broader strategy to secure its core squad, which has already included extending Omar Gaber’s contract for two more seasons, renewing defender Mahmoud Hamdy “El-Wensh” for an additional three seasons, and completing the permanent signing of Moroccan midfielder Mahmoud Bentayg from French club Saint-Étienne.
Meanwhile, Zamalek is gearing up for a crucial clash against Pyramids FC on Tuesday evening in Matchday 6 of the final phase of the Egyptian Premier League. The team has entered a closed training camp starting tonight at a hotel near Cairo Stadium as part of its technical preparations and full focus for the upcoming showdown, which is considered a pivotal moment in Zamalek’s push to reclaim the league title.
