A number of reports said the 37-year-old keeper is seeking to part ways with Zamalek because he was benched in recent friendly matches.

The reports were later confirmed by Hassan, who voiced his disgruntlement with the way Al-Hadari had announced his plans to carry on his career away from the Cairo side.

Zamalek, who lie seventh in the Egyptian Premier League table, take on the Mountain Wolves on Monday.
