Marshall Munetsi extends contract with Stade Reims until 2027

Zimbabwe Warriors central midfielder Marshall Munetsi has extended his stay in France with Stade Reims after penning a new deal that will expire in 2027.

The French Ligue 1 side announced on their various media pages on Friday.

“Already 1273 Kilometres in the red and white dress and its not going to stop! Marshall Munetsi extends the adventure at Reims until 2027,” Stade Reims posted on their Facebook page.

Munetsi who also extended his stay at Reims in May 2022 set to expire in 2026 joined Reims in 2019 from South African league giants Orlando Pirates.

The 26-year-old midfielder extends his contract at a time reports suggest that English Premier League sides including Bournemouth and Brighton and Hove Albion have shown interest in him.

The impressive combative midfielder who has scored six times and provided three assists this season was recently nominated for the the prestigious 2023 Marc-Vivien Foe award in France.

Vivien Foe’s award is held annually and rewarded to the best African player in the French top flight league.

It is in honour of the late Cameroonian national Marc-Vivien Foe who played for French side Olympique Lyon before he collapsed and died on the pitch in an international match in 2023.

Other nominees who are vying for the gong this year include: Achraf Hakimi (Morocco/PSG), Mohamed Camara (Mali/Monaco), Mama Balde (Guinea-Bissau/Troyes), Habib Diallo (Senegal/Strasbourg), Yunis Abdelhamid (Morocco/Reims), Seko Fofana (Ivory Coast / Lens), Chancel Mbeba (DR Congo/Marseille), Terem Moffi, forward (Nigeria/Nice), Salis Abdul Samed (Ghana/Lens) and Hamari Traore, defender (Mali/Rennes).

The winner of the prestigious gong will be announced later this month (May 30).

      Rester Ncube not all of us can manage to vote. Go and vote as many times as possible to cover up for those that cannot make it due to situations beyond their control. This time pakaipa

  • Itayi Tione

    He is wasting his time there. Comfort zone for him in France. His talents deserve playing elsewhere. He has the talent and the brains. Great player

    • Godwin Chakaza

      Itayi Tione depends on his salary they are offering him

    • Michael Gogo

      Itayi Tione From South African league to French league then you say he is wasting his time Umm Bro that’s poor analysis

    • Itayi Tione

      Michael Gogo He has to go and play in more competitive league because his talent deserve better. Your analysis is poor because you want his focus to end there in France because it is better than South Africa.

    • Itayi Tione
