The Egypt international said he signed his registration form with Zamalek but insisted his transfer from Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow did not go through yet.

"Zamalek wanted me to sign the form because the deadline for player registration in the Egyptian FA is on Thursday," he told FilGoal.com exclusively on Tuesday.

Zaki's move to Zamalek has been stalled after the Egyptian club failed to deliver the first installment of payment.

The 23-year-old explained that he feels "lost" because he doesn't know who to talk to in Zamalek.

Mortada Mansour was reinstated as Zamalek president through a court order while the Egyptian High Council of Sport (HCS) insist that Raouf Gasser is Zamalek's acting-president.

"I don't know who is in charge," said Zaki. "Is it Mansour, Gasser or Mandouh Al-Husseini who was in charge of completing the deal?"

Zaki said that he will continue with Zamalek until things clear up, noting that he still has offers on the table.

"Thank God the transfer season in Europe and the Gulf doesn't end till early next month," a helpless Zaki said.

"We'll see what happens with Zamalek first, then consider other options," he added.
