Zamalek management has succeeded in concluding two heavyweight deals to support the White Castle’s attacking line, while working on a third major deal.
According to Egyptian media, Zamalek has completed its agreement with the Swedish club AIK to sign their striker Omar Farag.
The deal will be worth more than one million dollars, but Zamalek management has reached an agreement with AIK to pay the amount in installments.
What distinguishes Omar Farag’s deal is that he is Palestinian, and thus he will be registered as a local player, which gives Zamalek the opportunity to contract with another foreign player.
The 22-year-old is scheduled to join Zamalek at the end of the current international break in which he is participating with the Palestinian national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The second deal that Zamalek has concluded is the contract with Gabonese striker Aaron Salem Boupendza on a free transfer.
Boupendza was active with the American team Cincinnati, before his contract was terminated in the past months, and the Zamalek administration has already reached an agreement with him on all the details.
The 28-year-old will arrive in Cairo in a few days to sign his transfer contracts to the White Knight for 3 years, with his annual salary reaching more than one million dollars.
In the same context, Peruvian media revealed that negotiations between Zamalek and former Al-Hilal and Al-Qadisiyah player, Andre Carrillo, are still ongoing.
The only dispute between Zamalek and Carrillo is over the financial compensation, but recent reports suggest that a breakthrough is looming on the horizon.
Zamalek is also working to get rid of Samson Akinyola in order to provide his huge salary, and with it, it can meet Carrillo’s financial requirements to become the new reinforcement for the left wing position.
