🧤 Zamalek Want to Keep Mohamed Sobhi

Former Egypt international Ahmed Hassan has revealed Zamalek’s position on goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhi, stating that the club’s management is determined to keep him within the squad and does not intend to allow him to leave during the upcoming January transfer window.

Ahmed Hassan wrote on his official Facebook account: "Zamalek insist on Mohamed Sobhi staying next season and not leaving in January."

The statement indicates that Mohamed Sobhi’s departure is not currently part of the club’s plans, as Zamalek look to maintain their available options in the goalkeeper position and preserve stability within the squad.

🔥 Agreement Over Goalkeeper Rotation

Meanwhile, media presenter Khaled El Ghandour revealed details of an agreement reached by Zamalek head coach Moataz Gamal with the team’s three goalkeepers: El Mahdy Soliman, Mohamed Sobhi and Mohamed Awad.

The agreement reportedly covers the policy for distributing playing opportunities during the upcoming period.

Speaking on his "Stad El Mahwar" program, El Ghandour explained that the three goalkeepers had been informed of the system in advance, meaning the coaching staff’s decisions regarding selection were not unexpected for them.

⚽ Mohamed Sobhi Starts Against Djibouti Champions

Khaled El Ghandour also stated that El Mahdy Soliman and Mohamed Awad were not surprised by their exclusion from the starting lineup against Djibouti champions AS Port, in the first leg of the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.

Mohamed Sobhi started that match as part of the rotation policy agreed upon between the coaching staff and the goalkeepers.

The approach is designed to give the available goalkeepers opportunities based on the coaching staff’s assessment and the demands of the club’s different competitions.

⭐ Zamalek’s Goalkeeping Situation

The discussion surrounding Mohamed Sobhi comes as Zamalek continue to manage a goalkeeping department that includes three experienced options. That gives the coaching staff flexibility when selecting the starting goalkeeper across domestic and continental fixtures.

Based on the statements attributed to Ahmed Hassan and Khaled El Ghandour, the current direction is for Mohamed Sobhi to remain at Zamalek and not leave in January, while opportunities among the three goalkeepers continue to be managed according to the previously agreed system.

The official developments during the January transfer window will ultimately determine whether there are any changes to the current plans.
