Premier Soccer League Champions, FC Platinum are in talks with South African side, Baroka FC over the possible re-signing of former striker, Rodwell Chinyengetere.
Pure Platinum Play is confident of signing Chinyengetere on loan after the player has fallen down the pecking order at the Absa premiership club.
This was confirmed by FC Platinum spokesperson Chido Chizondo in an interview with the Daily News. She said:
There is contact with Baroka on striker Chinyengetere to return to the club. We understand they exceeded their foreign quota and they contacted us if we are interested in a loan move.
We are very much interested and if all goes well, he should be joining us soon.
Meanwhile, FC Platinum has denied that it is facing a player crisis with “The Twins” having moved to South African side Chippa United and Ali Sadiki and Godknows Murwira no longer with the club. Said Chizondo:
There is nothing like a player crisis here. Of course, there is movement regards certain players like Kelvin and Elvis (Moyo) as well as Sadiki but we have already moved to replace those players.
Murwira has indicated he wants to move and we are negotiating with several teams who are interested in him.
For Dube, he has since relocated to the States to stay with his family. Mhari is still our player and is not going anywhere, the same as Madhanhanga.
So reports that there is a player crisis here are baseless. I don’t know where people are getting that from. For the record, FC Platinum have consistently paid their players.
The club has promoted Panashe Mutimbanyoka, Keith Madera and Hagiyazo Magaya from the junior development programme.
We have also signed Congolese striker Nsilia Mawete and we are only waiting for his clearance to arrive.
