It looks like Hany Said will still have to prove his worth and fight for a place in the ranks of Perugia... There has been a lot of contradicting news lately about his latest club in the Mercato. EP have shifted a gear up and have brought forth the latest news, coming up with the latest official statement from the general executive manager of Perugia.

Both parties (Perugia and the player) agreed that it would be best for him to have a stop first at the Serie B side Catania on a loan basis deal until the end of the current season and to have him under the eyes of Perugia till he is fit and mature enough to earn a place at the Serie A club."

It's also noted that both Perugia and Catania are owned by the rich Italian family Gaucci who have written Hany Said's name as the latest addition to their books...
