CAIRO: Mostafa Gaafar is set to end his contract with Zamalek in January, the frozen striker said Tuesday.
Gaafar told FilGoal.com that he is ready to pay Zamalek LE 3 million and turn into a free agent.
He signed a two-year extension last summer to stay with the Whites until 2011.
The 26-year-old forward has been out of favor this season and was limited to a few appearances as a substitute.
Several Egyptian sides are interested to sign Gaafar, with Ittihad Alexandria and his former club Al Masri leading the race.
Gaafar was told by Zamalek that he could spend the second half of the season on loan instead of leaving permanently. He rejected the offer.
Al Ahly marketing director Adli Al-Qaeyi told FilGoal.com in August that Gaafar was one of three targeted players whom he failed to sign.
Amr Zaki and Mahmoud “Shikabala Abdel Razeq are the other two, with all three moving to Al Ahly’s arch-rivals Zamalek.
