CAIRO: Zamalek keeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef conceded he will not be able to join Lazio because the Italian Serie A side currently have three non-European players.
I m not waiting for Lazio s reply, it s over because there is no place for another foreigner, Abdul-Monsef told FilGoal.com on Monday.
The 30-year-old keeper has just returned from Italy after undergoing a trial period with Lazio, who currently occupy third place in the Serie A table.
The Biancocelesti were reportedly interested in signing Abdul-Monsef to compensate for the expected retirement of veteran keeper Angelo Peruzzi.
However, there is still some hope for an Italy move as Abdul-Monsef claimed Catania are the latest club to express their interest.
My Italian agent showed Catania officials some videos of me and they were impressed by my capabilities. I couldn t go for another trial period with Catania because my time was very limited, he said.
