Juan Bezerra transfer negotiations continue between Zamalek and Shabab Al Ahli

Negotiations are ongoing regarding the potential transfer of Brazilian player Juan Bezerra from Zamalek SC to the UAE-based club Shabab Al Ahli. While some reports suggest the deal is finalized, others indicate that the transfer is currently pending a response from the Brazilian Football Confederation.

Shabab Al Ahli has reportedly inquired with the Brazilian federation to determine Bezerra's international status. This information is necessary for the club to complete registration procedures, particularly as they seek to manage their foreign player quota and explore the possibility of the player obtaining UAE residency.

A deadline of September 27 has been identified as the final date to resolve the transfer before the UAE registration window closes. If the required information is not received, Bezerra is expected to remain with Zamalek.

Financial details of the potential move suggest that Zamalek could receive $3 million in cash from the sale. This liquidity is seen as vital for the club to address existing financial obligations and avoid potential disciplinary actions, such as transfer bans or issues obtaining the African license for upcoming continental competitions.
