CAIRO: Ismaili chairman Nasr Aboul-Hassan launched a scathing attack on Zamalek officials for making “illegitimate attempts to lure Dervishes stars.
Zamalek officials are causing damage to the historic relationship with Ismaili due to their irresponsible acts, the Ismaili chief told FilGoal.com.
We often thought that Ahly were to blame for snatching our stars, but now Zamalek are trying to lure our players in.
Zamalek have been linked with trio Abdullah Al-Saied, Sherif Abdel-Fadil and Mohamed Fadl, who had an offer rejected from the Whites last week.
They know that Al-Saied and Abdel-Fadil are both tied with Ismaili until 2013 and that we are not ready to sell our stars, so why are they trying to sign them? added Aboul-Hassan.
I also cannot understand why they can t follow legitimate methods in their approach.
Zamalek s biggest summer signing was Egypt sweeper Hani Saied, who sealed a controversial move from the Dervishes in July.
Ismaili opted to sell the 29-year-old to Zamalek, despite the player s clear desire to join arch rivals Ahly.
