Zamalek Eyes a Defender Sale to Crack the Cash Gate

The shocking decision to solve the crisis

Financial crisis drives transfer talk at Zamalek

The board of Zamalek is weighing the sale of Hossam Abdel Majed, the team's first-choice defender, in the upcoming transfer window. The move would help the club secure urgent liquidity to end the ongoing registration ban that has hampered squad planning this season.

A source inside the club told Koora that the priorities are to raise funds to settle debts owed to foreign creditors that triggered the ban, including Ferjani Sassi, former coach Jose Gomez and his staff, and head coach Christian Gross.

The same source added that the club also aims to settle dues for current foreign players to avoid legal crises threatening stability, naming among them Juan Bizera, Adi Al-Dabbagh, and Adam Kaid.

Despite the high value of Hossam Abdel Majed to the squad, the urgent need for cash and lifting the ban pushes management to act, hoping to secure a sizable sale before the end of his contract next season.

What this means for fans and the squad

This development is more than a business move; it could reshape how the team lines up as the transfer window opens, balancing revenue with competitive ambition.

Punchline 1: If money talks, this transfer window is shouting buy me at the top of its lungs.

Punchline 2: And if selling a defender cannot end the crisis, at least the budget will finally have a sense of humor.
