ZAMALEK GOING ALL IN FOR CASTILLO?

According to Soccer-Laduma, Egyptian giants Zamalek are serious about making a move for 29-year-old Venezuela midfielder Edson Castillo. Chiefs have previously insisted that they won’t let their star schemer go for anything less than R40 million.

“It looks like Zamalek is very serious about Edson (Castillo). At first, it was just monitoring and inquiring, but now it’s believed that they have contacted Chiefs to talk about the possible move. But yet, there has been contact from Zamalek. Now it’s all up to Chiefs to make a decision.” said the source.
