New Masri manager Mokhtar Mokhtar held on to midfielder Ashour Al-Adham, who was set to join Zamalek. Al-Adham's move was a part of a swap deal, which would see Ahmed Magdi and Ahmed Al-Merghani go the other way. But Mokhtar, who was appointed earlier this week, said he won't let any player go without having a meeting with him first. "I told the club chairman Kamel Abo-Ali that I need to talk to any player who wants to leave," Mokhtar told FilGoal.com. Abo-Ali now finds himself in an awkward situation, after telling reporters on Sunday that Al-Adham's move is already sealed. Zamalek are yet to comment on Mokhtar's decision.
