Zamalek's football director Ibrahim Hassan says the White Knights would never open talks with a player without his club's knowledge. Police Union's assistant coach Mounir Oukeila claimed that Zamalek were holding negotiations in utter secrecy with several players from the Egyptian minnows. But Hassan assured that the Cairo giants would never talk any footballer into leaving his team inappropriately. "When we want to acquire a player, we always inform his club with our interest," He told Zamalek's official website. "We always respect their contracts with their clubs and try to reach an agreement in a legitimate way. "We never negotiate a player under the table."
