Inform the sports director.. Mohamed Awad requests to leave Zamalek private
The most prominent features of the crisis came after Mohamed Awad was excluded from Zamalek’s roster to face Petrojet, which brings them together in the Premier League competition, a decision that opened the door to a new escalation on the part of the goalkeeper.
A source close to the player revealed that Awad asked John Edward, the sporting director of Zamalek, to approve his departure from the team during the current winter transfer period, due to what he has been exposed to within the club in the recent period.
The source added that the goalkeeper informed Zamalek officials, led by John Edward, of his clear desire to leave, stressing that in the coming hours he will begin discussing the offers he has already received in preparation for submitting them to the club’s management to make the final decision regarding his future.
The source explained that the state of anger that controls Mohamed Awad is due to his feeling that there is a plan to remove him from the team since the beginning of the season, despite his insistence on staying and continuing to fight until he got the opportunity to participate, and he contributed directly to Zamalek being crowned with the Egyptian Cup title, in addition to his distinguished appearance in the Egyptian Super Cup matches.
The source concluded his statements by emphasizing that Awad was an influential player and endured a lot of pressure in light of the absences that struck the team, and was one of its most prominent stars during difficult periods, before he was surprised again by returning to the bench, which prompted him to make the decision to leave the White Castle.
