Ismaili board member Khaled Farw believes that Sherif Abdul-Fadil is 'pretending' to be willing to join Zamalek. "There is a lot of pressure on him in these days, and that's why he said he wanted to seal a move to Zamalek," Farw told FilGoal.com Few days ago, Abdul-Fadil's brother and agent Nabil Abdul-Fadil revealed that the international center-half is eager to join Zamalek, who have recently approached him. He also said the 26-year-old will officially request to move to the White knights this summer. "We don't know whether Abdul-Fadil has officially requested to leave for Zamalek or not, but all I can say he wouldn't do that unless he had to," Farw added. "The board will convene with him soon and try to persuade him into staying." FilGoal.com understands the Dervishes' officials are planning to raise Abdul-Fadil's annual wage from EGP 700,000 to one million starting next season, in an attempt to keep hold of him.
