Brazilian forward Juan Bizera, who pressed for a move to Shabab Al-Ahly Dubai by skipping training, has returned to Cairo to say goodbye as the transfer nears.
- Bizera has returned to Cairo and intends to attend Zamalek's training Monday to bid farewell to teammates and staff, per an informed source.
- In a 13 September statement Bizera apologised to the club, staff, players, and fans while reiterating his wish to leave, calling the offer "a big dream for him and his family."
- Zamalek received Shabab Al-Ahly's offer on 28 July and countered with demands of $6 million net, $1 million in bonuses, and 20% of any resale.
- Zamalek has refused to sell, stating on 19 August that Bizera's contract runs three more seasons and he cannot leave without club approval.
- A new obstacle emerged: a clause in Bizera's contract with former club Oleksandriya requires Zamalek to pay $100,000 after he contributed to 20 goals, prompting Zamalek to ask Shabab Al-Ahly Dubai to cover the sum to complete the deal.
- Bizera returned to Zamalek training on Saturday after a 42-day absence.
- A club media official said Zamalek must pay Oleksandriya $100,000 if Bizera contributed to 15 goals this season, not the previously reported 20-goal threshold.
- Zamalek decided to close the Bizera file, saying its priorities are paying players' overdue dues and resolving its registration suspension while avoiding new cases.
- A Zamalek source said the club is awaiting Shabab Al-Ahly Dubai's response on its financial conditions for selling Bizera.
- Zamalek's media director Maher Gharib confirmed the club is currently studying Shabab Al-Ahly Dubai's offer for Bizera.
- A source said Bizera will bear the financial penalty imposed on him for his recent training absence.
- A Zamalek source told Yalla Kora that agreement has been reached on all details of Bizera's departure, with an official announcement expected within hours.
