A decisive meeting is expected to take place between Edward and El-Said once the player returns from Germany, where he is currently undergoing a medical check-up. The talks were postponed due to this medical trip, but the club is placing high hopes on the upcoming discussion to finalize the matter and reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.
Previously, Zamalek management had reached a preliminary agreement with El-Said on a contract extension. However, requested amendments from both parties delayed the signing of the new deal, leaving the situation unresolved for now, despite a shared desire to complete the renewal.

Meanwhile, El-Said has received multiple offers from other Egyptian Premier League clubs. The player is currently evaluating those proposals carefully in case negotiations with Zamalek fall through. Still, he has reiterated his willingness to stay with the White Castle, provided that both sides can agree on the final terms.

Edward is now working diligently to resolve the matter, aiming to craft a deal that satisfies both the club and the veteran player. The coaching staff is also in favor of keeping El-Said, believing that his experience could be a valuable asset on and off the pitch in the upcoming season.
