Egypt guardian Essam Al-Hadari is willing to stay with Ismaili until the end of the season, despite his earlier desire to leave in the winter break. The 37-year-old keeper was strongly poised to leave the Dervishes in January, amid offers from Sudan's Merreikh and Belgium's Lierse. "In case I received my late wages in full, I am willing to stay with Ismaili," he told FilGoal.com. "I hope to return to the starting line-up and I am ready to forget the past, even though I know the board had turned down some good offers for me." Al-Hadari, who also claimed interest from Brazil's Palmeiras, hasn't been training regularly since returning from the Nations Cup in Angola due to the delay of his wages. The former Ahli goalie has been dropped from Ismaili's last two games against Mansoura and Sofapaka of Kenya.
