Zamalek manager Jorvan Vieira has initially agreed to loan out defense duo Hani Saied and Hamada Tolba to Gulf sides in the January transfer window. Oman's Dhofar and Saudi side Hajr - coached by Egyptian Tarek Yehia - are believed to have made overtures for Saied and Tolba respectively as Zamalek did not oppose the potential moves amid the lack of domestic activity. “Zamalek are currently suffering a financial crisis like so many other teams, for sure the loan moves would bring in money," Vieira said. “We have alternatives to Saied and Tolba as center-halves Mahmoud Fathallah, Salah Soliman and Ahmed Magdi are capable of filling the void left by both players. “I will convene with chairman Mamdouh Abbas and club officials to discuss the matter and make a final decision." Saied joined Zamalek in the summer of 2011 from Masri while Tolba switched to the Cairo giants from MCDR a year later.
