Zamalek forward Bezzera's holdout stalls transfer as club demands his Cairo return

Brazilian forward Juan Bezzera has refused to rejoin Zamalek's pre-season camp, remaining absent through four league matches while pushing for a move to Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai.

• Bezzera refused to return to Cairo for the club's pre-season camp and issued a declaration requesting to leave.
• Zamalek media chief Maher Gharib said no return date has been set and the club insists Bezzera come to Cairo before any transfer is discussed.
• Gharib said the club maintains continuous contact with Bezzera's lawyers, though the player himself does not attend those talks.
• Zamalek rejected an offer from Emirati club Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai for the Brazilian.
