A Zamalek official has revealed the latest situation surrounding Mohamed Atef, who is currently on loan at Talaea El Gaish, and the possibility of his return to the White Castle during the upcoming January transfer window.
Zamalek is reportedly interested in bringing the player back, but the terms of his existing loan agreement could prevent an early return.
Zamalek’s Position on Mohamed Atef’s Return
The official explained that Mohamed Atef’s loan move to Talaea El Gaish was agreed for two seasons.
Zamalek had previously contacted Talaea El Gaish to discuss terminating the loan and bringing the player back to the club.
Loan Terms Prevent an Early Return
According to the official, the loan agreement between the two clubs does not allow Zamalek to terminate the loan at this stage.
As a result, Zamalek’s desire to bring Mohamed Atef back is currently affected by the contractual terms agreed upon when the loan was completed.
Zamalek Also Faces a Registration Issue
The situation becomes more complicated because Mohamed Atef could face another obstacle if his loan is terminated.
The official revealed that the player would not be able to be registered with Zamalek if he returned at this stage because of the club’s registration ban.
Registration Status Could Determine the Player’s Future
Zamalek’s current registration situation means that simply ending Mohamed Atef’s loan would not automatically allow him to join the club’s registered squad.
However, the player could be registered if the loan arrangement is completed in accordance with the applicable registration regulations.
Will Mohamed Atef Return to Zamalek in January?
Mohamed Atef’s future remains linked to the terms of his loan agreement with Talaea El Gaish and Zamalek’s registration situation.
Therefore, terminating the loan alone would not necessarily be enough to make the player available for Zamalek’s squad, with both the contractual agreement and registration status affecting the potential move.

Why can’t Zamalek register Mohamed Atef if he returns?
The club is currently subject to a registration ban, according to the official.

According to the official, the player can be registered if the loan arrangement is completed under the applicable regulations.
