Behind the Scenes of the Abdullah El-Said and Zamalek Crisis

Ahmed Shobair has unveiled the behind-the-scenes details of Abdullah El-Said's recent crisis with Zamalek. He discussed the possibility of El-Said moving to either Al-Masry or Ceramica Cleopatra during this transfer window.

Ahmed Shobir stated in a radio interview: "Al Masry is not considering signing Abdullah El-Said, due to the presence of several players in the same position, making it difficult to bring him in."

He continued: "Ceramica Cleopatra also confirmed the difficulty of signing Abdullah El-Said due to Amr El-Solia being in the same position, and the average age affects his chances of being present despite Ali Maher's love for El-Said."

He added: "Abdullah Al-Saeed's issue with Zamalek is the overdue financial dues, and he has requested to receive them in full. Zamalek promised him that he would receive 72% of the dues by the end of this month, and then there will be a new portion of the dues at the beginning of the new month, bringing his total to 90%."

Abdullah Al-Saeed believes that Zamalek has paid foreign players' dues to avoid complaints to FIFA or contract terminations, which prompted him to request his dues as well.

The club stated: "Zamalek welcomed Abdullah El-Said's departure, but the overdue payments will be made on time like the rest of the players in the team. What I know is that Abdullah El-Said was surprised by Zamalek's reaction and the immediate agreement to terminate the contract. If he had heard just a few words, he would have continued normally with Zamalek."

Shobeir concluded his statements: "Zamalek is betting on youth and juniors in the same position as Abdullah El-Said, and currently, the most likely scenario is the player's retirement due to the difficulty of receiving a new offer."
