Zamalek team coordinator Ibrahim Hassan has denied any official talks with Ismaili over the transfer of Essam Al-Hadari to the Cairo club.

Recent reports suggested that the Egypt number one, who is admittedly unsettled in Ismailia, is in talks with the Whites over a summer switch.

"There haven't been any official talks with Ismaili," Ibrahim, the twin brother of Zamalek manager Hossam Hassan told FilGoal.com.

"Of course Al-Hadari would be a very useful addition to our squad, but there were no real negotiations.

"Hossam and I have only talked to Al-Hadari on the phone before the Nations Cup. We only expressed our admiration for his caliber. It was unofficial."

Zamalek guardian Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed has been usually playing second-fiddle for Al-Hadari in the Egypt squad in recent years.
