Abdullah Al-Saeed, the seasoned Zamalek midfielder, appears poised for a new chapter as his contract nears its end this season, with whispers of a potential switch swirling in Egyptian football circles.
At 39, the midfielder brushes off any talk of hanging up his boots, determined to keep making his mark on the pitch. An insider near the player revealed that Al-Saeed has two tempting offers from within Egypt that is Ceramica Cleopatra and Al-Masry while Zamalek still hopes to extend his stay.
The insider told Kooora that Al-Masry has secured a preliminary deal with the ex-Pharaohs star following heated talks, positioning them as frontrunners for his signature next season.
Al-Saeed hasn’t locked in his choice yet, but signs point toward a departure from Zamalek. The timing aligns with the White Knights’ recent stumble, crashing out of the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals against South Africa’s Stellenbosch on Wednesday. After a 0-0 draw in the first leg, they fell 1-0 at home in Cairo, adding uncertainty to the club’s squad plans.
