Moawad made the cut
Ismaili left winger Sayed Moawad denied all the reports claiming that his transfer to Sudanese giants Merrikh has been finalized and that the move should be completed when the transfer window re-opens in January.

"I gave a first agreement but that was two months ago. Merrikh offered Ismaili EGP 4 million but Yehial Al-Kumi asked for $1 million and since then the negotiations were put on hold," Sayed Moawad told FilGoal.com.

Daily newspaper Al-Mashahir revealed on Monday that the Merrikh Chairman Gamal Al-Wali concluded the deal with his Egyptian counter part worth $1 million and the money should be transferred within the next few days.

"I know nothing about it," added the 28-year-old player.

Ismaili lost to Merrikh 1-0 in the CAF Confederation Cup last Sunday to get knocked out of the race for the finale game.
