CAIRO: Ittihad Jeddah are ready to make an audacious bid for Egypt ace Mohamed Nagi Gedo , whose whereabouts are yet to be known.
Gedo, who inspired Egypt s CAN 2010 triumph with five goals in six games, hasn’t reported back to his club Ittihad after returning from Angola.
We don’t know how to reach him. His cell phone has been switched off since he returned home, Ittihad assistant coach Mohamed Nour told FilGoal.com.
We are aware of the fact that he has become a star, but we want him back in training because we have an important match on Sunday.
I used to call Gedo daily when he was in Angola, but since the national team have returned I lost contact with him.
Jeddah offer
Meanwhile, Saudi champions Ittihad Jeddah have shown serious interest in the 26-year-old forward, who is now on the shortlist of a host of clubs.
An Ittihad official called me from Jeddah, enquiring about Geddo, Ittihad chairman Mohamed Moselhi said.
He told me to name the price. They are serious and we will consider the matter.
Egypt striker Emad Meteb spent six months in Jeddah last year, winning the Saudi league title with the Asian giants.
