Contractors: Zamalek did not refuse to include Mohamed Salah, and the player preferred professionalism to Al-Ahly’s offer

Engineer Mohamed Adel Fathi, a member of the Board of Directors of the Arab Contractors, and the supervisor of the football sector, narrated the scenes of the session that brought him together with Mohamed Salah and the duo of the contractors at the time in the name of Ali and Ali Fathi, after the trio starred with the mountain wolves and received great offers from Al-Ahly and Zamalek and professional offers.

And Adel Fathi said in statements to “The Seventh Day”: I sat with the three players and told them about the offers, and Mohamed Salah’s response was clear and quick. He told me, “I will only play in Egypt for contractors or professionally in Europe.” In the name of Ali, as usual, he replied, “What you see, Basmhandis.” .

He continued: Zamalek did not reject Mohamed Salah, as some have rumored. The local offers that Salah received were verbal, and Al-Ahly was the most serious about including him, and Al-Ahly requested Mohamed Salah and Bassem Ali.

He concluded: Mohamed Salah has reached a global position and I am completely confident in his mentality to choose his next station because his mentality is professional, and Salah has greatly raised Liverpool's popularity in the Arab world, and won many championships and deserves to be in the Olympics and his presence will represent a great addition.

The Egyptian star has won many major individual awards in Europe and the world, after the impressive levels he presented in his professional career in the stadiums of the old continent in recent years with the clubs he played in his shirt, most notably Liverpool, Rome and Fiorentina, the Italians.

Perhaps the most prominent achievement at the club level for Salah is the achievement of the Champions League title in the last version with Liverpool, as the first Egyptian player in history to achieve this achievement.

As for the best individual achievement, he won the African Golden Ball twice in a row, 2017 and 2018, and he also ranked sixth and fifth in the Golden Ball award, which is awarded to the best player in the world every year during the years 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Salah also became the first player in history to score 32 goals in one season in the English Premier League 2017-2018, and this season combined the Golden Boot award and the best player in the competition.
