Zamalek considers parting ways with 9 players as it prepares to rebuild the squad

Zamalek is considering major changes to its first-team squad at the end of the current season as part of a plan to rebuild the team after assessing the players’ performances. Options include terminating contracts by mutual agreement, loaning some players or not renewing their contracts, as well as putting other names on the market to make room for new signings.

The players being considered for departure include Mahmoud Jihad, whose contract the club is considering terminating by mutual agreement or sending him out on loan, as well as Ahmed El-Gifali and Amr Nasser, for whom ending their contracts or loaning them out are also options. The club is also moving towards not renewing the contracts of Seif Farouk Gaafar, Mostafa El-Zanary and Youssef Wael El-Faransy, according to the source.

The source says that Abdullah El-Said has decided to retire at the end of the current season, when his contract also expires, and that Nasser Mansi is a candidate to leave, with no intention of renewing his contract. Zamalek also intends to put Mohamed Awad on the market as part of its plans to reorganize the goalkeeping position.

These moves are taking place alongside an assessment of the team’s needs and planning for new signings. The players’ situations are expected to be resolved in the coming period, with the options being a permanent departure, a loan or non-renewal.
