Ittihad defender Rami Saied penned a new deal with the Alexandria-based club, after the club’s dispute with Suez Cement over the player has been resolved.

Saied has initially signed a contract to join Suez Cement next season, but he reverted on his decision and preferred to stay with Ittihad.

Ittihad’s vice-president Mohamed Mosselhi held a friendly meeting with Suez Cement general secretary Hussein Mugawer, and the two parties agreed on keeping the player with Ittihad.

The 29-year-old has signed a 1-year-deal worth EGP 350,000 to remain in Alexandria for a fifth successive season.
