Zamalek have reached a new agreement with Olympic over an imminent deal that will see goalie Mahmoud Abdul-Rahim 'Gennesh' join the Whites upon the opening of the transfer window. The Cairo giants were close to landing Gennesh in January but backed out of the deal following a financial disagreement with his club. The move fell through when lower division outfit Olympic put an EGP two-million price tag on the keeper's head. Both sides agreed a new transfer fee on Saturday. "We have reached a final agreement to acquire the player for EGP 1.5 million and the deal will be wrapped up on Wednesday," Zamalek's marketing director Ashraf Sobhi told FilGoal.com. "Olympic will receive a down payment of EGP 500,000 and the rest of the money will be paid on three installments." Zamalek have been on the lookout for a new goalkeeper to play second fiddle to number one Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed since the departure of Essam Al-Hadari to Merreikh. The 11-time Egyptian champions signed Palestine goalie Ramzi Saleh in the winter but declared his contract null and void in no time.
