He continued: “Zamalek’s offer was greater than the offer made by Al-Ahly, and at that time the contracts of Zamalek players were higher than the contracts of Al-Ahly players, and Hani Saeed at the same time moved to Zamalek and was receiving approximately three or four times what I would have received.”
Moving to Al-Ahly
He continued: “I appeared on one of the sports programs and announced my transfer to Al-Ahly Club, after I attended a meeting that included Captain Mahmoud Al-Khatib, Engineer Adly Al-Qai’i, and Engineer Yahya Al-Koumi, President of the Ismaili Club, and I signed the contracts during this meeting, so I officially announced my transfer to Al-Ahly.”
He continued: “The Ismailia Football District refused to authenticate contracts, and a major crisis occurred at that time. The governor intervened and dismissed the entire board of directors of the Ismailia Club because of their approval of my sale to Al-Ahly Club.”
