Bosso hopeful in Mhindirira talks

HIGHLANDERS remain hopeful of pinning midfielder Devine Mhindirira down to a new contract as a number of local clubs are believed to be monitoring the situation tightly with the hope of snatching the midfielder when his contract expires on June 30. Bosso remain locked in talks with the midfielder who is also on the radar of Chicken Inn and Simba Bhora.

The two suitors are believed to be offering more than Bosso, which could result in the player leaving the Bulawayo giants though he would prefer to continue wearing the black and white jersey. Bosso secretary-general, Morgan Dube is confident the two parties will reach an agreement before his contract expires in a fortnight.

“We are still in talks with the player. We are hoping as we get to the end of this month we will have concluded the deal,” said Dube. Mhindirira, a creative midfielder, has been on top of his game for the Kelvin Kaindu’s mentored side and losing his services would prove detrimental for the league championship starved black and white army.

Owing to a nagging injury, Mhindirira saw little game time at Bosso last season. It was the same year that the 2022 season Soccer Star of the Year finalist was called for a disciplinary hearing after he missed Bosso’s first three weeks of pre-season training. Mhindirira was accused of breaching article 5 (a) (d) (g) of his contract.

He was let off the hook because he was still owed his 2019 signing-on fee as well as the signing on fee from 2022 when he extended his contract.
In the build up to the 2024 season, Mhindirira again was meant to leave Bosso, but Kaindu is said to have insisted on the player staying at Bosso.
This was despite what then Bosso chairman Jonhfat Sibanda had suggested, they were not going to consider the player for this season as he is a bad apple in the team.—@innocentskizoe
