Raja Club Athletic has begun its efforts to sign Moroccan player Abdelhamid Maâli, who currently plays for Egypt's Zamalek SC, during the upcoming winter transfer window, amid the complicated situation the player is experiencing within the team.

The data indicates that Raja's management has opened communication channels with His Excellency to bring him in, taking advantage of the financial crisis that Zamalek is experiencing, which has caused significant delays in the player receiving his dues and has pushed him to seriously consider leaving.

According to press reports, the player is close to leaving Zamalek due to a growing financial dispute, while his situation has become more complicated following statements by Egyptian journalist Khaled El-Ghandour, who revealed on Al-Mahwar channel the difficult conditions the player has been experiencing since his transfer to the team last summer from Ittihad Tanger.

Al-Ghandour explained that the player is suffering psychologically due to being away from his family and the Zamalek management's failure to fulfill their commitment to bring his mother and cousin to live with him, as stipulated in his contract. He added that Maali struggles to cover his basic needs and receives direct support from his teammate Mohamed Sobhi, who has stood by him, helped him financially, and hosted him multiple times to alleviate his daily hardships.

Amid the crisis that Zamalek is experiencing, uncertainty surrounding the player's future is increasing, alongside media warnings about potentially losing a talent who might choose to return to the Moroccan league, especially given Raja Club's serious efforts to sign him during the winter transfer window.

It seems that Abdel Hamid Maali is close to making a final decision regarding his next destination, and Raja Club Athletic may be the most likely option if his situation at Zamalek remains unchanged.
