Ismaily search for local talent

ISMAILIA (GoPharaohs.com) - Ismaily officials terminated transfer negotiations with Tunisian Club Sportif Sfaxien (CSS) today. The two clubs were in the process of negotiating a transfer of Sfaxien’s Ivorian forward Blaise Koissy. Ismaily officials indicated that the negotiations were terminated because the requested sum of $200,000 for the transfer was excessive.

Ismaily head coach Sabry Al-Minyawi said that his team has decided to turn their attention to local talent to fill the striker void that the Ismaily currently has. The Daraweesh have initiated negotiations with Bani Sweif Communications for 23 year old striker “Mizo”. The amount Ismaily is offering is reported to be 150,000LE, the largest sum for any transfer in the history of the Egyptian First Division League.
