Zamalek is close to securing a EGP 200 million loan to help ease its financial crisis and pay players’ overdue wages, while the club also demands EGP 20 million from Zizo under the terms of his contract.
Sports journalist Mohamed Motawea revealed that Zamalek SC is nearing an agreement to obtain a EGP 200 million loan aimed at resolving part of its ongoing financial difficulties and ensuring the payment of first-team player salaries. 💰⚽
During his appearance on “El Match” show hosted by Ehab El-Koumy on Sada El-Balad TV, Motawea explained that John Edward, Zamalek’s sporting director, urged the club’s board to act quickly before the start of the Egyptian Super Cup, so the team can be fully prepared for the tournament.
He also confirmed that Zamalek is open to selling defender Hossam Abdel-Meguid if a strong financial offer arrives, although the player has not yet received any formal bids. Abdel-Meguid, however, expressed his desire to renew his contract with the White Castle, though the management has not opened discussions yet.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Mohamed Awad has refused to leave the club, affirming his commitment to continue with Zamalek in the upcoming period. 🧤🏹
