EXCLUSIVE: Genclerbirligi's experienced defender Abdelzaher El Saka is still looking to make certain his next move step. El Saka had a meeting with his club last week. He and his agent offered money terms in order to stay in the team, but there is still no a signing by the Egyptian.



EgyptianPlayers.com called El Saka's agent Alper Gokdemir and asked about the latest with regard to the successful central defender.

Waiting On Gencler Offer:

Alper Gokdemir talked to us very clearly about his player El Saka, "We met with the club board. We wanted to stay if they can give the money that we want. This was ok for El Saka, who has played for that club for years.

"But the board didn't reply to us positively. They offered a low amount of money to us and said that El Saka can stay if he accepts it."

Gokdemir added, "El Saka deserves a better wage. He has played here successfully."

El Saka is now back in his homeland, and is awaiting more on the issue. "I sent him to Egypt now," said the agent. "He is waiting for the contract talks. I'll prepare his contract and I'll send it him to sign.

"But Genclerbirligi didn't come close to our requests. They could be more polite to El Saka."


Four Turkish Offers:


Alper Gokdemir exclusively announced El Saka's offers. "I say here to EgyptianPlayers.com for the first time: El Saka has four official offers on me. They are Konyaspor, Trabzonspor, Kayserispor and newly promoted side Vestel Manisa.

"Genclerbirligi is the fifth door in front of us. But El Saka is happy there and can stay if the club come close to our wishes."

Family Means No Move Abroad:

Moreover, El Saka has been watched by other clubs in Europe. It was previously stated by the player to EP that Rangers of Scotland, and British clubs including Bolton Wanderers and Fulham are watching him. "El Saka has interests from out of the country," said Gokdemir.

"But his wife doesn't want to go. El Saka has a new baby who was born last Thursday. The family is happy here and want to stay if possible."

Gokdemir ended stating, "We are awaiting Genclerbirligi's last offer now. The next days will show our future destination. We are awaiting the right time to accept the contract which El Saka deserves."

EgyptianPlayers.com would like to congratulate El Saka on his newborn, and will keep you updated on all his developments...
