Abou-Mosallam claims Zamalek bid

"I have been approached by Zamalek recently," he told FilGoal.com.

"I am glad that such a big club like Zamalek want me, but I am willing to carry on with my European career."

Despite his European ambitions, the Egyptian full-back looks set to leave Strasbourg after they were relegated from the French Ligue1 this season.

Abou-Mosallam was on brink of joining Crystal Palace last year, but failed to get a UK work permit.

The former Ahli defender was also in talks with Rapid Bucharest, but did not agree personal terms with the Romanian outfit.
