CAIRO: Zamalek have extended Hazem Emam s deal until 2014, after he was said to be in talks with Ahly over a possible move.
Recent reports suggested that Ahly are seriously targeting the talented right back, thus, Zamalek offered him a new contract to diminish their arch-rivals chances of landing him.
The new deal will see Emam get paid LE 400,000 per season, in addition to a LE 100,000 annual raise.
I penned the new contract, which has already been notarized, Emam, who was promoted to the first team late last season, told FilGoal.com.
I insisted to sign the contract as soon as possible to put an end to speculations over my future.
On the other hand, Ahmed Al-Merghani initially refused to sign a similar deal at Zamalek.
The highly-rated defender is expected to make his final decision within the next couple of days.
