Al-Ahly and Zamalek have only four days to consolidate the ranks before the end of the transfer market, which is scheduled to close on the sixth of this month in preparation for the start of the new season (2020-2021).
Al-Ahly is so far on the right path in terms of championships after winning the league title and then winning the CAF Champions League for the ninth time in the club’s history, in addition to winning the Egypt Cup after the last coronation in the 2017 edition.
As for Zamalek, it lost everything, whether the league or the cup, after leaving the semi-finals, in addition to losing the African Champions League title, so that the sons of the dead became an obstacle to thinking about the new season, starting with the League and Champions League competitions.
And talking about the file of reinforcements, whether in Al-Ahly or Zamalek, each team is looking for support as required, and in the following lines, “Yallakora” reviews what Al-Ahly and Zamalek are waiting for before the end of the transfers?
Al-Ahly:
So far, the Al-Ahly administration has strengthened its ranks with three deals, starting with the wing Taher Mohamed Taher, coming from the ranks of the Arab Contractors, then the defense of the Moroccan international duo Badr Banoune, the player of Raja Casablanca, and the return of Ahmed Ramadan “Beckham” from the Wadi Degla team.
Al-Ahly management also restored Mohamed Sharif after his brilliance with Enppi last season, along with Akram Tawfik, where he played in El-Gouna, as well as Smouha duo Nasser Maher and Salah Mohsen.
On the other hand, the departure of nine players from the team was confirmed, starting with Moroccan Walid Azaro, who moved to the ranks of the Saudi agreement, Saleh Jumaa Basim Ali, Hussein al-Sayed, Hussam Ashour, Sherif Ikrami, Ahmed Sheikh and Ali Badji.
Cernio’s position:
South African coach Pitso Mosimane is still seeking to sign Uruguayan winger Gaston Cernio, player of the South African Sundowns.
What is blocking the deal so far is the financial return, as the Sundowns club is seeking $ 5 million in exchange for abandoning the services of the 29-year-old.
Al-Ahly administration, in turn, did not deny its desire to contract with Cerno, according to the assurances of the director of the Contracting Committee, Amir Tawfiq.
According to a South African press report, specifically from “Kick Off”, the Al-Ahly administration made an offer estimated at one million dollars to contract with Cerno, but it was rejected so that another offer of 2.5 million dollars was sent.
Zamalek:
So far, Zamalek club has concluded one deal represented in the inclusion of Tunisian international player Hamza Mathlouthi to support the right front after the end of his contract with Tunisian Sfaxien.
At the level of seconded persons, Technical Director Jimmy Pacheco decided to restore the trio Mohamed Ashraf “Rouka” and Ahmed Fattouh, along with Moroccan Hamid Haddad.
Ahmed Refaat, Mohamed Antar and Ahmed Kaborya left Zamalek officially, in addition to Razzak Cisse’s loan to the Alexandria Union for the fourth time.
Waiting for Pacheco:
Zamalek may conclude a deal before the end of the summer transfers by contracting with the Danish player with Egyptian assets, Amir Adel, whose contract expired with his former team, Norwegian Sarpsburg.
According to Ayman Yunus, head of the committee in charge of managing the football in Zamalek, the Portuguese Jimmy Pacheco asked to see Amir Adel first in order to decide his position on whether or not to contract with him.
“I cannot sign new players because I do not know whether there is money in Zamalek or not,” Yunus said in statements on the “Zamalek” channel. “If we have additional money, we will include new players, otherwise we will keep the club’s children.”
