CAIRO: Ismaili chairman Nasr Aboul-Hassan dismissed Essam Al-Hadari s claims that he has the right to rescind his contract with the club.
The Egypt custodian, who is admittedly keen on joining Sudan s Merreikh, told Mehwer TV that unpaid wages could force him to terminate his contract with the Dervishes.
He cannot leave like that. It is untrue there is a clause that gives him the right to rescind his contract, Aboul-Hassan told FilGoal.com.
Al-Hadari s wages were only late because he was away with the national team. But he will receive his money this week as soon as he returns to the club.
We are not ready to let him go. He is a great player and we need him for the Champions League.
Two years ago, Al-Hadari notoriously rescinded his contract with Ahly and decided to join Swiss side Sion without his old club s consent.
The 37-year-old was eventually charged by the Court of Arbitration for Sport for his illegal move and is currently anticipating a heavy sanction.
