Zamalek begins discussions to renew player contracts after the conclusion of the Cairo Derby.

The management of Zamalek SC is preparing to address the contract renewals for several first-team players whose contracts will expire at the end of the current season. This will take place after the Cairo Derby match against Al Ahly, scheduled as part of the sixth round of the league.

Zamalek's administration aims to take serious steps towards finalizing the contract renewals after the derby match, given the importance of retaining key players that the coaching staff wishes to keep for the upcoming period. Additionally, they want to establish a clear vision regarding the team's roster and needs before entering the later stages of the season.

Players whose contracts with Zamalek expire at the end of the season

The list of players whose contracts with Zamalek will expire at the end of the season includes Nasser Mansi, Omar Gaber, Abdullah El-Said, Ahmed Fattouh, Seif Jafar, Mostafa Zanzari, Mahdi Suleiman, Mohamed Awad, and Youssef French. The management will handle the renewal process in two phases, according to the club's administration and coaching staff's perspective.

Negotiations after the derby match

The first phase of negotiations is expected to begin after the derby match against Al Ahly, where sessions will be held with some players whose contracts are expiring to understand their demands and reach an agreement regarding their continuation with the team. The remaining negotiations will be postponed to the upcoming international break in November, which will see discussions with the other players continue.

Zamalek's desire to divide the renewal process into two phases is to give the coaching staff and management a greater opportunity to evaluate all players, especially given the team's involvement in several important matches at this time, most notably the derby against Al Ahly, which is of significant interest within the club.
