The debts are distributed among six main parties. The Senegalese player Ibrahima Ndiaye, a former team player, is claiming $1.8 million, while the Polish player Konrad Michalak is owed $770,000, along with $120,000 for the former Portuguese coach José Gomes, according to the Egyptian website ‘Youm7′.
In a related context, the first football team players are awaiting the disbursement of their overdue payments today, before resuming collective training scheduled at 6 PM at the Military College Stadium. John Edward, the team’s sports director, confirmed his commitment to disburse these payments today, appreciating the players’ endurance of the club’s difficult financial conditions in the past period, despite their family and financial obligations.
Sources confirmed that a complaint will be filed after attempts at amicable settlement with Zamalek failed, despite direct communication and repeated promises from the Egyptian club without execution, according to sources close to the management of the Tangier club on the ‘Morocco Sport’ website. The management expressed its dissatisfaction with ‘Zamalek’s failure to fulfill its obligations stipulated in the deal agreement, prompting the club to take legal action to protect its financial rights’.
This crisis is the second of its kind for Zamalek with Moroccan clubs, following a similar dispute with Nahdat Zemamra club regarding player Salah Mosadek’s deal, raising questions about the Egyptian club’s commitments in its recent dealings with Moroccan clubs. The complaint is expected to attract significant attention in football circles, as Ittihad Tanger insists on recovering its full dues through FIFA if Zamalek’s delays continue.
