adminan impact in his first season overseas and has now been sent out on loan to gain more experience.
The coach who signed him from Chiefs was offloaded and this complicated issues for the Bundesliga greenhorn.
Hoffenheim paid €1,3 million to Chiefs for the speedy Zimbabwe international this time last year and they will continue to pay him his contract fees but will get a of €100 000 payment from Augsburg for their use of the forward this coming season.
When a player is sent out on loan, the conditions of his contract do not change and his parent club continues to pay him according to the agreement.
Musona has four years remaining on his contract.
The 22-year-old is likely to have a better chance at Augsburg of seeing more regular action in the top flight of German football.
Last season, Augsburg narrowly avoided the drop after the first campaign in the Bundesliga and have high hopes of staying up again this season.
Musona has been busy in the pre-season friendlies with Augsburg coach Markus Weinzerl giving him an opportunity — albeit as a winger rather than out and out striker.
But Musona has still to score after starting the last three friendly matches for his new team — joining them post the Word Cup and African Nations Cup qualifiers last month.
Musona was in the starting line-up against two German amateur clubs in the last week plus a friendly against Scottish champions Glasgow Celtic, that ended in a goalless draw. — SuperSport/Sports Reporter.
