Belgian giants Anderlecht offered another half million EUROS to sign Zamaleks flamboyant winger, Shikabala but Zamalek upped their price tag
The Egyptian league leaders Zamalek have declined a 2.5million offer and set a 4.5million price tag in order to release their talisman, Mahmoud Abdel-Razel Shikabala.
Anderlecht first offered 2m then raised their offer to buy Shikabalas contract, seeing that he will be a free agent in January, but the board declined the offer and asked for 4.5million, Zamalek marketing manager, Ashraf Sobhy said to Ahram Online.
The Belgium champions have been chasing the 24 year-old Egyptian wiz since last year and came close to forcing a move last summer, but the player made a u-turn and remained with Zamalek.
The former Paok forward has been in a scintillating form this season, scoring 9 goals in 18 league games to top the scorers’ chart.
Shikabala whose contract expires in January 2012 is likely to move away from the Whites because of the financial crises that will prevent the board from meeting his demands to ink a new deal.
