Zamalek Sporting Club is embarking on a mission to fortify its first team, steering it back onto the path of success and championship glory.
The club has orchestrated significant moves in the ongoing winter transfer window to achieve this goal.
According to sources from “Al-Masry Al-Youm,” Zamalek has secured the services of 11 players thus far, with the possibility of further additions, given the extension of the registration period until February 6.
Here’s a breakdown of the financial impact on Zamalek’s coffers from the 11 acquisitions:
- Abdallah El-Said: The Pyramid FC star has been secured for a season and a half for a fee of EGP 15 million.
- Saif Farouk Ghafer: Acquired from Pyramid FC for EGP 6 million.
