Recent media reports have revealed the latest developments regarding the transfer of Mahmoud Zalaka, a player from Pyramids, to Zamalek during the summer transfer window.

According to sources, Zamalek's management failed to secure Zalaka's services due to Pyramids officials' insistence on retaining him, in anticipation of Ibrahim Adel's departure.

The reports indicated that Zamalek's management recently entered negotiations to sign Mahmoud Zalaka in order to strengthen the team's squad this summer.

However, Zamalek's management faced obstacles due to Pyramids' desire to keep the player after his return from loan at Ceramica Cleopatra, especially with Ibrahim Adel pressuring the sky blue team's management to agree to his professional transfer.

The reports confirmed that Ibrahim Adel will meet with Pyramids' management to finalize his position regarding the European offers presented to him and choose the best option.
