Zamalek treasurer Hossam El-Mandouh intends to take a dispute regarding player contracts to the Egyptian House of Representatives. El-Mandouh, who serves as a member of the parliament, flagged discrepancies between the compensation Ahmed Sayed “Zizo” requested from the club and the lower figures documented with the Egyptian Football Association. The treasurer cited an instance where a player requested 80 million pounds per season while only 5 million pounds was registered officially. The situation follows Zizo’s departure to Al-Ahly on a free transfer after he declined to renew his contract with Zamalek. Both clubs have filed complaints with the Egyptian Football Association regarding the matter. El-Mandouh stated he plans to use his legislative role to trigger a broader state review of professional football contracts.
