Later joined Zamalek SC, helping the club achieve success in domestic and continental competitions. Fathi attracted significant attention following his impressive performances during the 2014–15 season, contributing to Zamalek’s Egyptian League and Egypt Cup double. He was also influential in the club’s Egypt Cup triumph the following season, scoring the third goal in a 3–1 victory over rivals Al Ahly. Interest in Fathi from Serie A clubs had emerged previously. In June, Bologna submitted a €400,000 offer for a one-year loan, but Zamalek rejected the proposal, reportedly valuing the winger at no less than €4 million.
