Al-Tabie’s license to arrive soon

"The transfer should be completed as we sent them the whole sum and we are expecting to get his license very soon. He will be with the team in the preparation phase," said board member Ahmed Tawfik to FilGoal.com.

Zamalek have first agreed with their Turkish counterpart on a $120 000 transfer fee that should be paid on two installments. But then Rizespor board insisted on having the whole sum to send Al-Tabie’s license.

On the other hand, the 31-year-old defender denied all the alleged reports saying that he’s pressing hard on Zamalek to stay in Turkey.

“Why should I? I wanted to get back to Egypt and I said that I will only play for Zamalek.”
