Hani Saied revealed that French side Saint Etienne offered Ismaili $1.2m to sign him next summer. "Saint Etienne made an official offer to Ismaili and I would love to go back to Europe," the 27-year old sweeper told FilGoal.com. "I'm in the last year of my contract and Ismaili should let me go with such a good offer," added Saied. The Dervishes' player was a key member of the Pharaohs' successful Nations Cup campaign.
