Zesco United and Power Dynamos’ Offers for MUZA Striker Andrew Phiri Rejected
Copperbelt-based MTN Super League powerhouses Zesco United and Power Dynamos have hit a roadblock in their pursuit of FC MUZA striker Andrew Phiri. BolaNews has learned that the Mazabuka-based club has declined transfer offers for the prolific forward, emphasizing their commitment to retaining key players.
MUZA’s Stance on Phiri
Despite Andrew Phiri expressing a desire to leave, he remains tied to FC MUZA due to a contract extension signed last season. This agreement ensures his stay at the club, even amid persistent interest from league giants like Zesco United.
Phiri has been a standout performer for MUZA over the past three seasons, cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most reliable goal scorers. He has already netted seven goals in 11 games this season, making him an invaluable asset for the club.
A History of Retaining Talent
MUZA has a history of holding onto their top players to remain competitive in the MTN Super League. Earlier this season, they successfully retained former captain Kelvin Mwanza, who was on the verge of joining Power Dynamos. The club secured Mwanza’s commitment with a new long-term contract, demonstrating their resolve to keep their squad intact.
Transfer Price Tag
Sources close to FC MUZA suggest the club is open to negotiations for Phiri, but only for offers of ZMK 2 million or more. This high valuation reflects Phiri’s importance to the team and the club’s ambition to remain a strong force in the league.
What’s Next for Andrew Phiri?
With Zesco United and Power Dynamos likely weighing their options, it remains to be seen if either club will meet MUZA’s demands. For now, Phiri continues to lead the line for FC MUZA, with fans eager to see if he can help the team achieve further success this season.
