Bosso make 'ridiculous' demands to sign Mujokoro

- BY FORTUNE MBELE

HIGHLANDER­S have been offered a chance to buy Under-20 captain Lexington Mujokoro or take him on loan by the midfielder's parent club First Mobile Sports Academy (FMSA) but the club is struggling to raise funds to complete the deal.

An FMSA official, who declined to be named yesterday said they met with the Bulawayo giants and offers were made but Highlander­s emerged from the discussion­s saying they wanted to make further consultati­ons.

“They came and we negotiated. We asked them if they wanted Mujokoro on loan or an outright buy and they said they don’t have money. We don't have a problem with the loan. They offered US$1 500 for a season's loan but that is ridiculous,” the official said.

At the negotiatin­g table, Highlander­s said they would take Mujokoro on loan on condition the Bulawayo giants were to benefit if the player was to be sold while on loan.

“To that we obviously said no. Highlander­s should not behave as if they are doing us a favour. Mujokoro remains 100% FMSA and we can take this player anywhere,” the FMSA official said.

Another source at Highlander­s said the Bulawayo giants were calling off the negotiatio­ns and the deal with Mujokoro had crumbled.

“THEY came and we negotiated. We asked them if they wanted Mujokoro on loan or an outright buy and they said they don’t have money. We don't have a problem with the loan. They offered US$1 500 for a season's loan but that is ridiculous.”
