Zamalek keeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef has revealed on Sunday that the club have rejected Catania's $450,000 bid to lure him to Angelo Massimino Stadium next season. "I sat down with chairman Mamdouh Abbas and he told me that Zamalek did not accept Catania's offer," Abdul-Monsef told FilGoal.com. The Zamalek stand-in guardian, whose contract runs out at the end of next season, is ready to commit his future to the Cairo giants in case the club hand him a pay rise. "I currently earn EGP 400,000 per season. I'm ready to extend my contract for two more years if Zamalek's offer is financially worthy." "Otherwise, I will sign a deal with Catania in January and join them next summer if their interest still exists at that time," he added. Abdul-Monsef has been subjected to heavy criticism from Zamalek fans, who accused him of being responsible for the team's Arab Champions League exit at the hands of Jordan's Faisali. However, his displays in the closing parts of the season have earned him praise from media as he stood between the sticks instead of regular keeper Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed, who was sidelined for long periods due to injury.
