The only Egyptian in Italy, Hany Said had an exclusive interview with EP this week. Hany Said told that he may have a possible transfer to Turkish side, Altay. Said said he took an offer from Aegean side Black & Whites Altay via Genclerbirligi's strong defender Abdelzaher El Saka.

But there was a problem about Hany Said's transfer to Altay club. Because Altay is a first division club and Turkish FA doesn't allow foreigner purchases to clubs which are out of the Super League. Altay could sign with Egyptian Said for a fee if they could win the Second league in the first
three places and won promotion to Super League. But Altay finished the division in tenth place. This was the main barrier in Hany Said's possible transfer.

Altay has to take special permission from the FA or the rules must change for this transfer and this seems impossible.

EP try to solve the questions about this tied move and present the confusions of the Egyptian defender in Italy.

EgypianPlayers.com had news about Disuki and Ramadan's new boss Reha Kapsal three days before. Kapsal was a successful manager who is young and who is using advanced methods in his training sessions. Kapsal is one of the young spirits in Turkish soccer who promoted two teams to the Super League in three years, B.B.Ankaraspor and Altay!

Reha Kapsal was an old Altay manager. He promoted Altay to the Super league. Then he left Altay and Altay were relegated back one year later. Kapsal signed with B.B.Ankaraspor in the middle of the past season and won the title with 65 points and deserved to play in Super League. This success
alerted the attention of Super League clubs who need a new manager. Finally, Reha Kapsal negotiated with Ankaragucu as the new boss of Ramadan and Disuki.

If we are sure that Altay can't sign with a foreigner including Hany Said, the Egyptian is spying with Kapsal's staff. We don't know if Hany Said knows the rule that cancels his possible move to Altay or not. Hany Said may hide his club name which he negotiated (Kapsal's ex-team B.B.Ankara or
Ankaragucu) or he doesn't know the manager who wanted him signed with Ankaragucu.

Hany Said told EP, he had contact with Abdelzaher El Saka and took a serious offer from Altay. EP solved the tied transfer and can say from now; if he'll have a transfer in the near future to Turkey, it'll be to Ankara based clubs, Ankaragucu or Buyuksehir Belediye Ankaraspor, who have good contact with El Saka.

More soon...
