Saudi club Damac sparked controversy after posting a photo of player Tarek Hamed on their official account on the platform "X," coinciding with reports of the Egyptian international’s imminent return to Zamalek. The official account wrote:
"The last appearance of the season... See you at 9 PM."

This message opened the door to many speculations about the future of the player, especially as it comes at a sensitive time with the season ending.
Zamalek welcomes... and negotiations continue
Meanwhile, Zamalek expressed its eagerness to welcome back their former star during the upcoming summer transfer window, as the management seeks to strengthen the midfield with experienced players in preparation for the new season.
Tarek Hamed’s contract with Damac ends with the current season, allowing him to sign with any club without needing approval from the Saudi club.

Minor disagreement over contract length
According to informed sources, Zamalek prefers a one-year contract, while Tarek Hamed hopes for a two-year deal, which remains under negotiation between the two parties.

Return to the "White Castle"... a decision is imminent
With the season nearing its end, Tarek Hamed’s decision regarding his return to Zamalek is only a matter of time, amid strong fan support from the club’s supporters who see him as a symbol of fighting spirit and loyalty on the pitch.
