According to the newspaper, “Saudi Sport”, the player told his club that he would not be able to leave Egypt due to the presence of requirements related to his performance of military service after the completion of the legal age of 28 years, as his enrollment in a university is no longer sufficient in order to postpone military service.
And Mustafa Fathi informed Al-Taawon of his approval of the idea of transferring to the ranks Al-Ahly club of Egypt Who in turn inquired about the possibility of including the player, and Zamalek offered 400 thousand dollars, his remaining dues when cooperating in exchange for the player’s inclusion.

Mustafa Fathi formed a wonderful double in the attack with veteran Cameroonian striker Leander Tawamba in the ranks of cooperation last season, which prompts the Saudi club’s management to insist on his presence with the team next season.
