"Al-Adham signed a four-year contract and Masri will have Magdi and Al-Merghani in exchange," a Zamalek spokesman said.

The 25-year-old midfielder will receive EGP 5,8 million, FilGoal.com understands.

Al-Adham played under Zamalek manager Hossam Hassan, who was in charge of Masri two years ago.

He plays as a holding midfielder and is an excellent long-range shooter.

Both Magdi and Al-Merghani play in the same position. Magdi can also be deployed as a sweeper in a 3-5-2 formation.
