Zamalek defender Ibrahim Saied has joined Caykur Rizespor on a three-year contract for a fee of $300,000, the Turkish side announced on their official website on Friday. Rizespor held a press conference on Thursday to unveil the controversial Saied, who will wear the number 44 kit. "I've successfully passed the medical and will officially sign the contract on Saturday after I reach an agreement regarding the money I will receive," Saied told FilGoal.com. "I will play the first match with my new team on the 21st of January against Genclerbirligi in the Turkish Cup." The 27-year-old rebuffed rumors suggesting that Rizespor's Egyptian defender Beshir Al-Tabei will join Zamalek as a part of the deal. Since joining Zamalek from arch-rivals Ahli, Saied failed to ditch the bad boy image which accompanied him throughout his career. He was involved in series of bust-ups with Zamalek's board and coaches and couldn't impress in the heart of the team's defense. Saied has recently undergone a trial with Sheffield United but the Premiership side didn't make a move to acquire his services.
