ENPPI ace Walid Soliman once again had his hope of joining either Ahli or Zamalek shattered as the petroleum side issued a hands-off warning. The Egypt international, who moved to ENPPI from Petrojet in the close season, was repeatedly approached by Ahli over the past year. However, Petrojet prevented him from signing for the Red Devils. Instead, they allowed him to seal a deal with ENPPI who also belong to the Egyptian petroleum sector. Soliman has been instrumental with ENPPI so far this term, which prompted Ahli to renew their interest in his services. Zamalek were reportedly in the hunt for the highly-rated schemer too. The 25-year-old stated last weekend that he's still willing to ply his trade at one of the Cairo pair, only to see ENPPI fend off his suitors. "Soliman will remain an ENPPI player till the expiry of his contract in the summer of 2013," ENPPI football director Alaa Abdul-Sadek told FilGoal.com. "I want the officials of Ahli and Zamalek to stay away from ENPPI's players, especially Soliman. "We are really upset by their intensive talks with him. It's just inappropriate." Soliman said he was contacted by Zamalek football director Ibrahim Hassan three weeks ago, before the latter denied making overtures to him. The sought-after player also revealed that former Ahli's board member Mohamed Abdul-Wahab had opened negotiations with him. Soliman had spells at Harras Hodoud, Gouna and Ahli Jeddah throughout his career.
