Media figure Khaled Al-Ghandour revealed the latest updates on the crisis involving Ahmed Sayed Zizo, the star of Al-Ahly, with Zamalek.

Al-Ghandour stated via Facebook: "Zizo has decided to escalate his case with Zamalek to FIFA if the club continues to delay the payment of the player's dues, which Zizo estimates to be 82 million Egyptian pounds."

He added: "Zizo believes that his position is 100% legal and the case is in his favor, especially after he submitted documents proving the validity of his claims. If a ruling is issued in his favor by the Players Affairs Committee of the Football Association, he will escalate the matter to FIFA to obtain his full dues."

Meanwhile, Zamalek is preparing to face the Somali team, Dakadaha, next Friday in the second leg of the 32nd round of the African Confederation.
