Abdullah Al-Saeed's statement
To the great fans of Zamalek Club:
From the first moment I joined the great entity called Zamalek Club, I have considered myself part of this big family, one of the sons of this great club, and one of its fans. What I have lived through during this period was not just a passing stage in my life, but rather the most important stations of my football career amid this crowd from whom I have seen nothing but love and appreciation.
Everything that has been circulated in the past hours is completely untrue. I have never rebelled against Zamalek Club, and losing Zamalek and its great fans will never be my choice no matter what happens. I have been honored to be here.
I have considered retiring and ending my football career in the jersey that I truly loved, and that moment will inevitably come. This matter took some time and coincided with the start of the team's preparation period, which is why I was absent from starting with them. As a member of this family that has seen its true meaning in every situation, I affirm my full respect and appreciation for Zamalek Club, its fans, and the board of directors and the decisions it takes, and I am honored to be among its ranks this season.
I pledge to the great fans that I will put Zamalek's interest first, and I promise them to fight and battle for all titles in the upcoming season. Long live Zamalek and its loyal fans.
