Mohamed Atef Joins Tala'ea El Gaish Training Despite Zamalek's Recall Decision

Mohamed Atef, the Zamalek player on loan to Tala'ea El Gaish, has joined the military team's training sessions in preparation for the new season, following the renewal of his loan. This comes despite reports suggesting that Zamalek is keen to bring the player back during the pre-season.

Sources have revealed that Mohamed Atef initially signed two separate loan contracts, each for one season, which gives Zamalek the right to evaluate the player at the end of the first season before activating the second loan term. Indeed, the player has participated in training with Tala'ea El Gaish while the procedures regarding his future continue.

Zamalek had previously informed the player of their desire for him to return to the squad in preparation for the new season, especially given the ongoing registration ban. However, the situation regarding the loan contract, which includes two seasons with separate agreements, has left the player's status dependent on the resolution of contractual details between the two clubs.

Mohamed Atef had a solid season with Tala'ea El Gaish, featuring in 31 matches, scoring 5 goals, and providing 2 assists, prompting Zamalek to reassess their stance on the player. However, his final future remains dependent on an agreement between the two clubs in the coming days.
