Zamalek stand-in goalkeeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef said on Thursday night he intends to make a new transfer request after growing increasingly frustrated with his current status. Abdul-Monsef sought to leave Zamalek in the January transfer window but the club's board member and former playmaker Hazem Emam eventually convinced him to stay put. But the 33-year-older, who plays second-fiddle to Abdul-Wahed el-Sayyed, believes he has no option but to depart the club. "I took a final decision, I will leave Zamalek at the end of the season," he told FilGoal.com. "I can no longer accept my current role. I was very committed to the team during the second half of the season, but the club did not fulfill the promises they made." Abdul-Monsef joined Zamalek from Dina Farms in the summer of 1999, but was always rated as a back-up custodian. He played regularly on numerous occasions though due to the persistent injury problems of regular keeper e-Sayyed. El-Sayyed, who seems to have finally shaken off his niggling complaints, produced some impressive displays this season to restore his place between the sticks. "I love this club, but I also want to play," Abdul-Monsef, who is usually blamed for his costly errors, added.
