"We are paying him according to his contract that is registered in the Egyptian Football Association," Zamalek spokesman Alaa Meklid told 'Al-Akhbar'.

Quaye was due to receive US$280,000 before the start of the new season, according to his contract, later amended so that he would receive $70,000 before the start of the season and the rest of his money paid in installments and according to number of appearances throughout the season.
