CAIRO: Ismaili defender Sherif Abdel-Fadil decided to deal with a “renowned agent, whose identity hasn’t been revealed yet, in order to move away from the coastal club in the near future.
The 25-year-old revealed his intention of sealing a move, saying he has been constantly shunned by Ismaili coach Ricardo Ferreira for no apparent reason.
Abdel-Fadil was not picked for the Dervishes last three games in the Egyptian Premier League, which prompted him to take action.
I m going to sign an agreement with a new agent, who will help me secure a good offer, Abdel-Fadil told FilGoal.com on Tuesday.
I can t stay while I have no chance to play regularly.
I m a versatile player, but Ricardo insists to keep me on the bench, although his options for the positions I can fill are very limited.
Abdel-Fadil has been snubbed by the Brazilian boss since the arrival of Dario Khan from Sudan s Hilal in the January transfer window.
Mozambique defender Khan is apparently going to establish himself with Ismaili at the expense of Abdel-Fadil.
I m really unhappy with my status as a fringe player, I can t stand it anymore, he added.
Abdel-Fadil, whose contract with Ismaili expires in 2012, also claimed that Ferreira has been mistreating him in training, saying it s another reason to leave.
The well-built defender was strongly linked with Ahly last season, but he opted to stay in Ismailia.
