Morsi, 24, has established himself as one of Zamalek’s key players since joining the club in 2014 from El-Entag El-Harby.
Morsi, who is widely regarded as Egypt’s current best striker, has delivered a series of outstanding performances with the Whites; helping them win the domestic double (the Egyptian League and Egypt Cup titles) in the 2014/2015 season.
He scored twice to give Zamalek the Egypt Cup title last season, beating rivals Ahly 3-1 in the final.
Morsi is also a key member of the squad that will represent Egypt in the African Cup of Nations finals in Gabon next month.
