Medical Examination Before Official Announcement 📢

Zamalek Insists on Future Protection Clause 🔐⚽
Despite reaching an agreement on most aspects of the transfer, Zamalek continues to insist on adding a special clause that gives the club priority to bring the player back if he returns to Egyptian football.
The proposed clause would allow Zamalek to match any domestic offer received by Hossam Abdel Meguid during his European spell, giving the club 14 days to decide whether to bring him back before another Egyptian club completes the deal.
This reflects Zamalek’s strategy of protecting its rights regarding players who move abroad and ensuring the possibility of their return in the future. ⭐
