⚠️ Zamalek Training Delayed Over Outstanding Payments
Media personality Mohamed Shabana has revealed new developments at Zamalek amid the ongoing issue of outstanding financial dues owed to the first-team players.
Shabana explained that the Zamalek squad was given an additional day off, despite being scheduled to return to training, in order to give the club’s management more time to work on settling the players’ outstanding payments.
Speaking on the “Number One” program on CBC, Shabana said: “Zamalek’s players were supposed to return to training today, but Mo’tamed Gamal gave them an extra day off to give the management an opportunity to pay the players’ dues, especially since some players have objected and may not attend training.”
💰 Disagreement Over How Bezerra Funds Should Be Used
Shabana also reported a disagreement within the Zamalek board over how the money from Juan Bezerra’s transfer should be allocated, with several financial obligations competing for priority.
He said: “Hussein El Sayed said all the money should go to the players’ dues, Hossam El Mandouh said I have employees’ salaries, and Hisham Nasr said I have dues for the team-sports players.”
According to Shabana’s account, the club is therefore dealing with several financial priorities, including football players’ payments, employee salaries and outstanding dues owed to athletes in other team sports.
📋 How Will Bezerra’s Transfer Funds Be Used?
Shabana concluded by stating that the money from the Bezerra transfer will be used to pay the players’ salaries from last season only.
He said: “Bezerra’s money will be used to pay the players’ salaries for last season only.”
The development comes as the club continues to face demands to resolve the outstanding payments, with the issue also affecting the timing of the team’s return to training.
🔴 Zamalek Face Multiple Financial Commitments
The financial dispute leaves Zamalek’s management facing several obligations at the same time, while the first team awaits a resolution that would allow preparations to resume normally.
The distribution of the Bezerra transfer funds remains one of the key issues under discussion, particularly as different departments of the club face financial commitments that require attention.
