EXCLUSIVE: EgyptianPlayers.com can confirm that Caykur Rize's successful defender Beshir El Tabei is close to returning to his country for Zamalek.

Zamalek want to set a stronger team for next season and had serious interest in El Tabei and El Saka.

Beshir's contract is currently going on with Caykur Rize and he cannot go anywhere if his club doesn't accept. But Zamalek's interest seems to change the defender's mind.

EP searched and asked this issue to Alper Gokdemir, the agent of some Egyptians in Turkey. Although not his agent, Gokdemir hopes to work with him in the future.

"Zamalek will sign him," stated Gokdemir.


"He is in Egypt now and I think he'll stay there as a Zamalek player. Beshir has a contract. They (Zamalek) sold him for $400,000, but his value is higher now in Turkey. I think Rize will not give him back for $400,000. I can sell that kind of player for at least $800-900,000 now."

He added, "I don't know how Zamalek will negotiate with Rize. This will not be easy."

"Beshir El Tabei has a different character. I know that he is not happy at his club. A Turkish agent came to him and said that Besiktas want to sign him. But this is not true. I called Riza Calimbay and asked him whether they want Beshir or not. They will not sign him. I think Beshir was wrong to believe the agent. After that he decided to return maybe."

Egyptian press' claims about the defender seem to be coming true for next season. Beshir El Tabei may sign for Zamalek but Zamalek have to solve the contract problem first, because El Tabei's value will not be as small as the one they received for him last year.
