“There have been some unofficial talks from the Gulf, but I am waiting for the negotiations to get formal so that I can talk to Zamalek,” the Egypt stopper told FilGoal.com.

“To be honest, the offers are tempting, but if it didn’t happen, I will not hesitate to extend my contract with Zamalek.”

Fathallah will be a free agent by the end of the season as Zamalek are struggling to offer him a new contract amid the club’s severe lack of funds.

The 28-year-old is a spinal figure in the Whites’ defense, while his goalscoring record has been anything but poor during the past two seasons.
