⚽ Agent Denies Any Contractual Restriction
Samer Salama, the agent of Hossam Abdel Meguid, has denied reports claiming that the player is contractually prohibited from joining an Egyptian club other than Zamalek if he eventually returns to the Egyptian league.
Speaking in televised comments, Salama said that Abdel Meguid’s contract contains no release or penalty clause preventing the player from making such a move.
He said: “There are no penalty clauses in Hossam Abdel Meguid’s contract, and there is no such thing as the player being unable to play for an Egyptian club other than Zamalek if he returns.”
The statement rejects reports about a contractual restriction limiting Abdel Meguid’s future options in Egyptian football.
🇪🇺 Abdel Meguid Wants to Continue in Europe
Salama also explained that returning to the Egyptian league is not currently part of Hossam Abdel Meguid’s plans, with the player instead focused on continuing his European career.
He said: “More important than all of this is that Hossam wants to continue in Europe and move to a bigger club in his next step. He is not thinking about returning to the Egyptian league.”
According to his agent, Abdel Meguid’s current priority is therefore to continue developing through European football and pursue another move at a higher level.
💰 Agent: Money Is Not Abdel Meguid’s Main Priority
Salama also discussed the factors influencing Abdel Meguid’s career decisions, stressing that financial considerations are not the player’s primary motivation.
He said: “Hossam is not looking for money. If that had been his goal, he would have stayed until the end of his contract and left Zamalek as a free agent, or moved to play in the Gulf, especially since we had a very strong offer from the UAE before his move to Bulgaria.”
The agent added that the player had different options but chose a European career path based on his sporting ambitions.
🔥 Agent Rejects €2 Million Transfer Scenario
Salama also addressed reports suggesting that Hossam Abdel Meguid could leave his current club for €2 million, ruling out such a transfer at that figure.
He explained that the player’s previous transfer fee, alongside other contractual provisions, makes that valuation unsuitable in his view.
Salama said: “It is impossible for him to move for that amount, because his club signed him for €1.5 million, and there is a sell-on percentage and contractual conditions that I cannot reveal, which make a transfer for that figure impossible.”
⭐ Abdel Meguid Focused on His European Future
The agent’s comments provide his account of Hossam Abdel Meguid’s current plans, with the player focused on continuing his career in Europe rather than returning to Egyptian football at this stage.
His comments also suggest that any future transfer will depend on the sporting opportunities available and the terms of the player’s existing agreement, including contractual clauses whose details have not been disclosed publicly.
