Alexandria-Hani Al-Awadi: Defender Mohamed 'Hamada' Youssef refused to renew his contract with Ittihad, the player said on Sunday. Youssef has cited financial issues for his decision to part ways with the Alexandria-based club. "I'm leaving at the end of the season because I didn't get the rest of my money from the club," Youssef told FilGoal.com. "I got a signing bonus and the first four installments of my contract," he said. "I still have five installments remaining that I didn't get yet." Youssef, whose contract with Ittihad expires at the end of the season, has been linked to Cairo powerhouse since last November. Ittihad had confirmed they reached a deal to sell Youssef to Zamalek during the winter transfer window, but the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) disallowed the transaction. Youssef had joined Ittihad last season from Enppi for a fee of LE 150,000.
