Zamalek's have earlier expressed a desire to sign Al-Masri and the 23-year-old showed initial approval to join the White Knights.

It was reported that Contractors want to wait until next January to make sure their team will have a good first half of next season before letting Al-Masri leave.

"It is very important that we keep our star players. Al-Masri still has a four-year contract and we won’t sell him now or in January," Ramadan told FilGoal.com.

Al-Masri impressed for the Mountain Wolves last season, where he scored ten goals and helped the club maintain their Premier League status.
