📢 Zamalek Postpone Training Return

Zamalek’s management have decided to delay the first team’s return to group training by 24 hours because of a delay in paying the players’ outstanding financial dues from last season.

The squad had initially been scheduled to return to training on Monday, but the club moved the date to Tuesday while waiting for the payment procedures to be completed.

💰 Players’ Dues Linked to Bezerra Transfer

Zamalek’s management had previously promised the players that their outstanding payments from last season would be settled after the team’s match against Ghazl El Mahalla, following the completion of Brazilian winger Juan Bezerra’s transfer to a UAE league club.

According to the information provided in the source, the payment was delayed because the first installment of Bezerra’s transfer fee had not arrived as scheduled, coinciding with a banking holiday in the United Arab Emirates.

💵 Zamalek Await First Transfer Payment

The club is expecting to receive the first installment of Bezerra’s transfer fee, reportedly worth around $3 million, on Monday, according to the source.

The payment is expected to help Zamalek’s management meet the club’s outstanding financial obligations to the players.

🏹 Tuesday Set as the New Training Date

Following the delay in receiving the payment, Zamalek decided to postpone the squad’s return to group training by one day, moving the session from Monday to Tuesday.

The management is seeking to resolve the outstanding payments before the players return, particularly after previously promising that their overdue dues would be settled following the completion of Bezerra’s transfer.

🔎 What Comes Next for Zamalek Players?

According to the source, Zamalek players are expected to receive their full outstanding payments from last season once the first installment of Bezerra’s transfer fee reaches the club.

📢 The squad and coaching staff are now awaiting the resolution of the financial issue before training resumes and preparations begin for the team’s upcoming commitments.
