ISMAILIYA: Ismaili has reopened talks with striker Mohamed Fadl over a contract extension, in another attempt to keep him in Ismailia after his contract expires.
The 29-year-old’s contract ends this summer and the Dervishes have been struggling to reach an agreement with him over the past few months.
However, Ismaili football director Ihab Galal revealed that there is mutual interest in a new deal in the meantime, despite Fadl s high financial demands.
Actually we’ve held talks with Fadl for few days now and we are expecting to finalize negotiations soon, Galal told FilGoal.com.
We are keen to keep Fadl and he is ready to accept lower wages with respect to the club s unstable financial position.
Fadl, who was involved in a rift with Ismaili officials over unpaid wages last season, was poised to leave for Zamalek in spite of his admitted loyalty to the coastal club.
The Egypt international was left out of Sunday s World Cup qualifier with Zambia, who claimed a precious draw in Cairo.
