''I received an offer from the Egyptian club Zamalek but this time it is not appropriate for me to accept the offer. If the circumstances were different, I would have wanted to continue with Al-Ahly of Egypt.
''In my contract with Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia, there is a clause to renew the contract for a season but the club's management did not contact me in this regard and I would like to stay in the Asian Continent.''
