Borussia have reiterated that their Egypt forward wants to stay at Signal Iduna Park.
Jul 2, 2009 12:27:48 AM
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has stressed that Mohamed Zidan is perfectly happy in Germany ad has no desire to leave the club.
The Egyptian striker put in an incredible performance in the Pharaohs' opening FIFA Confederations Cup game against Brazil, hitting a memorable brace.
Afterwards, media reports suggested that several clubs had made overtures to the 27-year-old, including Blackburn Rovers. But Klopp stated during the first day of Dortmund's summer camp that Zidan would stay put at least for another season.
"The football world is crazy; if someone scored two goals against Brazil, he would definitely make some headlines," the German tactician told Reviersport.
"But I have talked to him, and he told me that he doesn’t think about leaving because he’s really comfortable with us."
Klopp, however, admitted that Dortmund would consider accepting an offer for Zidan should he receive a lucrative one.
He also played down recent reports claiming that several European outfits had shown interest in the former Mainz ace.
"His departure doesn’t appeal to us, but if a club make him a worthwhile bid we will think about it," Klopp added.
"So far, no one has even inquired about the possibility of signing him."
Dortmund kicked off their pre-season preparatory camp on Monday, when they were greeted by more than 13,000 fans.
