Sports journalist Khaled El-Ghandour confirmed that the Palestinian player Hamed Hamdan, a star at Petrojet, is still on Zamalek's radar for signing in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Al-Ghandour wrote on Facebook: "The Zamalek management has not ruled out signing Hamed Hamdan, the Petrojet player, noting that the player is still a strong option within the White Castle, especially after his impressive performance with the Palestine national team in the Arab Cup."

He continued: "The issue of the registration freeze still hinders the completion of the deal at the moment, but the funds expected to be provided in the coming days will be allocated directly to lifting the freeze, as it is a top priority for the management."

He concluded: "After resolving the registration issue, Zamalek plans to finalize the agreement with Petrojet Club and the player, making Hamed Hamdan the team's first signing in the winter transfer window, provided the procedures are completed."
