Zamalek Zamalek to release striker Ahmed Hossam ‘Mido’ in the next transfer season and sign Masry’s Burkinabe striker Abdoulaye Cisse for the next three seasons on Tuesday.
”We decided to release Mido due to his absence from the team’s trainings in the past days,” a source in Zamalek management told DPA on Tuesday.
The 29-year old striker will leave his boyhood club after spending one season with the White Knights in which he didn’t impress the management by playing only four games.
Former Ajax, Olympique de Marseille, Roma and Tottenham, Mido arrived to Zamalek in January 2011 from Premier League side Middlesbrough, after signing a three and half-year contract.
Mido missed the majority of the past season due to over-weight issues or injury, before he threatened the club board with exiting after they failed to fulfill their financial duties toward him.
On the other hand, striker Abdoulaye Cisse signed a three-year contract with Zamalek on a free transfer.
