Anderlecht have renewed their interest in the services of Shikabala, according to Zamalek new board member Ahmed Refaat.

Even though the Belgian champions virtually ended their pursuit of the 24-year-old, Zamalek claim a fresh bid has just arrived.

Moreover, Refaat, a former manager of the Whites, claims that Standard Liege have also re-entered the race to sign the midfield wizard.

Zamalek, led by new chairman Galal Ibrahim, seem to be more open to offers for Shika, who has been labeled 'not for sale' by Mamdouh Abbas' recently-sacked board.

Decision

"We received two enquiries from Anderlecht and Standard Liege about Shikabala," Refaat, who has just been assigned as board member, told FilGoal.com.

"The offers will be discussed by the board and we'll come to a decision regarding the player's future."

Shikabala has been involved in a contractual dispute with Anderlecht who had two offers turned down in the summer before claiming that the Whites' star had signed a contract with them.

But the Egypt playmaker eventually committed his future to Zamalek, even though he repeatedly said he would like to make a move to Europe.

His announcement prompted Anderlecht to back down on their interest, saying it is 'unreasonable' to keep pursuing him.

On the other hand, Standard had an unpleasant experience with Egypt striker Emad Meteb earlier this season after signing him on a free transfer from Ahli.

After inking a two-year deal with Standard, Meteb made an infamous U-turn back to Egypt, causing the fury of the Belgian outfit.
