Zamalek rejects Libyan club's offer for left-back Ahmed Fetouh

Zamalek's board has rejected a Libyan club's offer to sign left-back Ahmed Fetouh, a club source said.

• A Zamalek source said the board rejected the offer, received two days ago, immediately upon arrival.
• The source said the club has no intention of releasing Fetouh during the current period in order to preserve the squad.
• Zamalek resumed training Tuesday after a rest break that followed a friendly four-goal win over Modern Sport.
• Zamalek had initially agreed to sell Fetouh to Ahly Benghazi for $500,000 before requesting the fee be raised to $700,000.
• The club decided to keep Fetouh after head coach Moetamed Gamal insisted his services were needed.
• Fetouh still hopes Zamalek will approve the transfer despite the board's rejection of it.
