Zamalek has opened negotiations to renew the contract of Moroccan player Mahmoud Bentaïg.

A reliable source from Zamalek has clarified the rumors regarding discussions to renew the contract of Moroccan player Mahmoud Bentaïg, the left-back of the first football team, whose contract with the club extends until the 2027 season.

The source confirmed that the issue of renewing Bentaïg's contract has not been raised at this time, especially since the player is still under contract with the club until 2027. They emphasized that the focus of the coaching staff and management is currently on competing in both the Premier League and the CAF Champions League.

The source added that the priority during this period will be on players whose contracts expire at the end of the current season, with other contractual matters to be reviewed in due course, according to the club's management and the sporting director's vision.

Moroccan Mahmoud Bentaïg expressed his happiness with the victory his team achieved over Ghazl El Mahalla in the match held on Wednesday evening as part of the league competition.
