In a bid to bolster their squad, Egyptian Premier League giants Zamalek SC are in advanced talks to secure the signature of Zesco United sensation Enock Sakala Jr., according to The Nerve Africa Sources.
Zamalek has identified Sakala as a key target for the upcoming season and negotiations have already commenced with Zesco United. According to insiders speaking to The Nerve Africa, Zamalek is poised to officially present their bid to Zesco in June, with discussions indicating a positive trajectory towards securing the player’s services.
An anonymous source close to the deal revealed:
“Zamalek was in contact with Sakala two weeks ago, and he is happy to join them at the end of the season. It can even happen earlier than that.”
The source further emphasized the willingness of all parties involved to move forward with the transfer.
Financial terms seem to have played a significant role in convincing Sakala to consider Zamalek’s offer. The Egyptian side is reportedly prepared to offer the young striker a lucrative deal worth around €185,000 per season, a proposition that has caught Sakala’s attention. With just one year remaining on his contract with Zesco, Sakala seems inclined to explore this new opportunity.
However, Zamalek’s pursuit of Sakala is not without competition. Rivals Al Hilal are closely monitoring the situation and are poised to hijack the deal should Zamalek delay in finalizing the transfer. This adds a layer of urgency to Zamalek’s negotiations as they seek to secure Sakala’s talents for the upcoming campaign.
