The management of Zamalek SC has decided to postpone discussions regarding contract renewals for several first-team players whose contracts expire at the end of the current season until after the upcoming Cairo derby against Al Ahly, scheduled to take place in the sixth round of the Egyptian Premier League.
Contracts for several Zamalek players, including Ahmed Fattouh, Nasser Mansi, Youssef "the Frenchman," Omar Gaber, Mohamed Awad, Mohamed Soliman, and Mostafa Zanar, will expire at the end of the season. The club's management is awaiting clarity on the status of these players in the coming period, based on the team's needs and the coaching staff's vision.
The Cairo derby garners significant attention from Egyptian football fans in general, and particularly from Al Ahly and Zamalek supporters, especially since the match comes after an international break lasting 24 days, from September 17 to October 11.
