Ahmed Sleiman, a member of the club’s board, reveals the Zamalek’s thoughtful approach towards goalkeeping positions and discusses potential contract renewals.
Zamalek has initiated the process of finalizing its goalkeeping lineup, with the presence of Mohamed Awad and Mohamed Sabry at the forefront.
Earlier, Ahmed Sleiman, a member of the club’s board, stated that the club is close to renewing contracts with the duo.
FilGoal.com sheds light on Zamalek’s perspective on the goalkeeper position.
In recent sessions, discussions have taken place with both Awad and Mohamed Sabry regarding contract renewals.
Mohamed Sabry welcomes the prospect of renewing his contract, especially after the resolution of the recent crisis.
The coaching staff sees Sabry as the future of Zamalek’s goalkeeping, deeming it prudent to retain him.
Awad, too, is open to continuing with the team and extending his journey with the Zamalek jersey.
Club officials are expected to hold a meeting with Sabry after his return from the Africa Cup of Nations 2023, and with Awad upon his return from the United Arab Emirates, to finalize all contractual matters.
Regarding the potential signing of a new goalkeeper in the ongoing winter transfer market, Zamalek is inclined to forgo the addition, particularly with the continuity of the established duo and the presence of young talents like Mohamed Alaa Eldin and Abdelrahman Nefaad.
In recent times, Zamalek has signed professional contracts with several young players, including goalkeepers, elevating them to train with the first team periodically.
Sabry has participated in five matches this season without a clean sheet, conceding seven goals. On the other hand, Awad, in 10 matches, has conceded six goals and kept a clean sheet in six matches.
Zamalek currently holds the 12th position in the league standings after eight matches in the ongoing season.
