The crisis involving Moroccan international player Mahmoud Bentaij and the Egyptian club Zamalek has seen new developments, as it is nearing resolution following the settlement of a large portion of his overdue financial dues with the club.

Bentayeb had previously threatened to terminate his contract with Zamalek due to delays in receiving his payments, and he had already started some legal procedures, which were halted in the past few days following the club management’s intervention.

According to press reports, the player's payment dispute is nearing resolution, as he has received the majority of the amount owed. Only a few minor issues remain, which are expected to be settled at the beginning of the new year.

The same sources confirmed that Zamalek's management informed the player that he would remain with the team and would not be transferred during the upcoming winter transfer window. The player agreed to this, emphasizing his commitment to stay with the team until the end of the current season, with any future offers to be considered after the season concludes.

The club president, Hussein Labib, and his deputy, Hisham Nasr, succeeded in reaching an agreement with the player, which ended the tension and halted the contract termination procedures that Bentay had threatened to pursue.
