Early signs of the Egyptian FA's anticipated verdict regarding Hani Saied's controversial transfer to Zamalek suggest that the Egypt defender will join the Whites this season. The FA will make a final decision on Saied's future next Saturday, but president Samir Zaher implied that Zamalek have the upper hand in the blurred case. "The Footballers' Committee validated the papers that Saied signed, which means that Zamalek have the right to win the player," Zaher told FilGoal.com. It is also believed that the Ismaili sweeper will escape a long-term ban suggested by some board members, for his vital part in the national team. Saied surprisingly reverted on his prospected move to the Cairo club, despite signing a pre-contract last week. The 28-year-old proclaimed his desire to join Ahli instead, resulting in another transfer saga between the arch rivals.
