Al Masry intends to sign Oussama Zemraoui permanently on the recommendation of the technical staff, following the player's convincing performances since his arrival last winter. The Egyptian club is preparing to begin discussions with Wydad Casablanca for a permanent deal. Zemraoui had initially joined on loan for an estimated $200,000 in an agreement that did not include a purchase option. Wydad is now reportedly demanding a fee of approximately $800,000, a figure which reflects the club's objective to recover its initial investment and benefit from the player's increased value. Negotiations between the two sides are expected in the near future.
