What awaits Zamalek after settling Salah Mosadek's dues? Scenarios for lifting the registration ban.
Zamalek SC is awaiting the scheduling of a session at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to review the appeal submitted by the club against the decision to impose a disciplinary registration ban in the case of Moroccan player Salah Musadak, who previously represented the team. Meanwhile, the club's officials are striving to resolve this issue definitively.
Settlement with Salah Musadak.. Zamalek at CAS
Zamalek has reached an agreement with Salah Musadak regarding his financial dues, which includes the payment of a significant portion of the amount owed to the player, along with a schedule for the remaining balance. The club has also informed the relevant authorities about the settlement and the measures taken to resolve the crisis.
Zamalek has sent the appeal memorandum to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), awaiting the scheduling of a session to review the appeal, hoping to reach a decision regarding the punishment imposed on the club.
Zamalek's registration ban has been enforced.. Another in January
The punishment imposed on Zamalek includes a registration ban for two transfer windows unrelated to payment, and the club has already served one period of the penalty during the last summer transfer window.
The second period remains in January 2027, placing the registration issue among the top concerns for Zamalek's management ahead of the winter transfer window, especially with the team's technical needs that may require strengthening certain positions.
Scenario of waiting until summer
According to sources within the club, the most likely scenario is the continuation of the disciplinary registration ban during the upcoming January, while waiting to see the outcome of the proceedings at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, alongside ongoing efforts to resolve other financial issues and cases.
If the punishment continues, Zamalek will have to manage its current roster during the winter transfer window while working to lift the sanctions before the next summer transfer period.
Zamalek continues to close cases
Zamalek's management is working to resolve several financial and legal issues that have led to the sanctions, aiming to reduce the club's obligations and prepare the conditions for fully opening the registration window.
The case of Salah Musadak remains directly linked to Zamalek's future movements in the transfer market, awaiting the outcome of the appeal proceedings at CAS in the coming period.
