El-Ghandour urges Zamalek not to resolve transfer ban crisis

Media personality Khaled El-Ghandour has called on Zamalek club not to resolve its current transfer ban, expressing satisfaction with the restriction. He argued that opening the transfer window would necessitate signing new players, potentially leading to further financial strain.

“

I am very happy that the transfer ban is in place, and I am serious. Why should we open the transfer ban?

"I am very happy that the transfer ban is in place, and I am serious," El-Ghandour stated in a video posted on his Facebook account. "Why should we open the transfer ban? We owe over $8 million just to open the ban, not to mention the money owed to players who worked hard and won the league – considered the most expensive in Zamalek's history."

El-Ghandour further elaborated that the team reached the Confederation Cup final but did not succeed. He opposes lifting the ban to prevent the club from buying eight new players, only for a few to succeed while others leave unpaid, adding $2 million to the club's debt. He urged the club to solve its existing problems and pay the $8 million within a year, while also paying the current players.

He praised the current team, calling it "good" with "the strongest defense in the league," and noted the availability of loaned players. El-Ghandour advised the club to maintain the current squad and resolve its financial issues. He also appealed to fans not to attack the board, even if they err, but to support them during difficult times, aiming to resolve all club problems within a year.

“

Don't open the transfer ban, work and solve your problems, and pay the $8 million within a year, and give the current players their money. We have a good team, and the strongest defense in the league.
