Bezira Crisis and Chico Banza’s Return.. Zamalek Decides the Future of Missing Players Before New Season
The situation surrounding Juan Bezira continues to develop at Zamalek after his absence from the pre-season camp, while Ahmed Shobier revealed Chico Banza’s return date and the club’s stance on the Brazilian player’s possible departure.
⚽ Zamalek Awaits Resolution of Bezira Crisis and Chico Banza’s Return
Zamalek is currently dealing with a period of uncertainty regarding several players who missed the team’s pre-season preparations, especially Juan Bezira and Chico Banza, as the club’s management attempts to maintain stability before the start of the new campaign.
Bezira’s situation remains the main focus for the club, especially after reports linked the Brazilian winger with a possible move to UAE side Shabab Al Ahli during the summer transfer window, amid the player’s desire for a new professional experience.
📢 Ahmed Shobier Reveals Chico Banza’s Return Date
Media figure Ahmed Shobier revealed the latest developments regarding Angolan forward Chico Banza, confirming that the player informed Zamalek about his expected return date.
Shobier explained that Chico Banza is scheduled to join the team’s preparations on August 7 or 8, giving the coaching staff an opportunity to reintegrate one of the team’s important attacking options before the season begins.
Zamalek hopes the player will quickly regain fitness and adapt with his teammates, as the pre-season period is considered crucial for physical preparation and tactical development.
🔥 Shabab Al Ahli Negotiations for Juan Bezira
Meanwhile, the crisis surrounding Brazilian player Juan Bezira continues, with UAE club Shabab Al Ahli showing interest in signing him during the current summer transfer window.
Shobier confirmed that the UAE club is negotiating with Zamalek to secure Bezira’s services, while emphasizing that no official offer has been submitted yet and discussions remain at an early stage.
Zamalek is seeking an appropriate financial offer before approving any potential transfer, as the club does not want to repeat previous mistakes related to selling players without achieving suitable financial benefits.
🏆 Zamalek Maintains Strong Position in Bezira Case
Zamalek’s management remains confident in its position regarding Juan Bezira, especially because the player has a long-term contract with the club.
The club believes that any departure must only happen under conditions that protect its sporting and financial interests, particularly with the team needing its key players during the upcoming season.
Zamalek will not reject a transfer if a suitable offer arrives, but without an acceptable financial proposal, keeping Bezira at the club remains the most likely scenario.
⭐ Bezira Situation Different From Zizo Case
Ahmed Shobier also highlighted that Juan Bezira’s situation is completely different from previous cases inside Zamalek, including Ahmed Sayed Zizo’s issue, because the Brazilian player’s long contract gives the club stronger control over the situation.
The Egyptian club has the ability to determine the player’s future, as any move depends on reaching an agreement that satisfies Zamalek’s requirements.
✨ Zamalek’s Preparations for the New Season
Zamalek’s management and coaching staff are working to finalize all squad-related issues, including new signings and decisions regarding current players.
Maintaining team stability remains one of the club’s main priorities before the new season, as Zamalek aims to compete strongly in all domestic and continental competitions.
The Juan Bezira file remains one of the biggest issues awaiting a final decision, with fans closely following the latest developments.
