Hossam El-Mandouh, a board member of Zamalek Club, revealed that Juan Bezerra, the team's player, will return within days.
Juan Bezerra
Club: Zamalek
The Brazilian player refused to join the team during the preparations for the current season after receiving an offer from UAE's Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai Club and expressing his desire to leave.
El-Mandouh stated on Al-Nahar Channel: "Juan Bezerra will return to Zamalek within days. Why hasn't he filed a complaint with FIFA? There are certain situations that require calmness and negotiation. We are communicating with him officially and legally on a daily basis to reach a solution that benefits Zamalek."
He added, "Will he return to Zamalek only to leave again? There is no discussion about this matter until he returns. We have informed him that we will not speak unless he comes to Cairo, and we will not negotiate while he is abroad. What if he doesn't return? Each event has its own context, but our legal stance is 100% solid."
He continued, "We previously announced that we want $6 million to let Bezerra leave, and we will not compromise on that."
He concluded, "What drawbacks we have as a board of directors is that we do not speak much."
Zamalek had previously rejected an offer from the Emirati club, which led Bezerra to stick to his position and refuse joining the team.
Bezerra is included in Zamalek's squad participating in the CAF Champions League, as FilGoal.com learned earlier.
