Tamer Al-Nahhas, agent of Mostafa Shalaby, recently transferred from Enppi to Zamalek, confirmed that the Petroleum Club made it difficult for the player to transfer deals to Al-Ahly during last summer’s transfers.
Al-Nahhas said in statements to Radio Greater Cairo: “Desire decided the transfer of Mustafa Shalaby to Zamalek in light of the Al-Masry negotiations, (Zamalek, Zamalek and Al-Ahly Ahli).”
He added: “The player is 27, so his choice of Al-Ahly and Zamalek is greater than his chances of choosing another team, as well as the enthusiasm of the Zamalek president to sign Mustafa Shalaby.”
And he continued: “Ayman Al-Sharei, head of Enppi, is exhausted in the negotiations, and the negotiations with Zamalek ended yesterday at 11.30 pm, even though we have been in negotiations for 10 days and I am the player’s agent”.
And he continued: “Was the player’s wish to join Al-Ahly? We generally don’t negotiate with two clubs at the same time, we only negotiate with one team and we initially received an offer from Al-Ahly just two months ago.”
He continued: “There was a direct negotiation between the two club leaders and Ayman Al-Sharei’s starting numbers were great and, in my opinion, were inappropriate … He asked for £ 30 million, and this number was difficult. to reach. “
And he added: “We were negotiating within half of this number and Al-Ahly offered £ 12 million. Al-Ahly stuck to Shalaby, but obviously other circumstances occurred, such as the change of manager and the Al-Ahly’s focus on the inclusion of foreign players. “
Tamer Al-Nahhas concluded his radio statements: “Zamalek entered the negotiations after that and Mustafa Shalaby decided his position and refused to wait until January”.
