Zimbabwe international forward Prince Dube has bid farewell to Azam FC after spending four years at the club.
Dube’s departure follows reports that he recently wrote to club pushing for a transfer request.
The club also confirmed receiving the former Highlanders striker’s letter but indicated it will release him only if terms of the contract are adhered to.
In fact, reports suggest that Azam are demanding a whopping US$300,000 transfer fee for the former SuperSport United striker whose recently renewed his contract with the club until 2026.
However, despite the running contract, Mgadafi as Dube is fondly known, has requested to be released.
He wrote a letter: “It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from Azam FC.
“These four years have been an incredible journey, filled with challenges, victories and cherished memories. I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone associate with the club, from the management to the coaching staff, my teammates and most importantly, fans.
“As I move on to a new chapter in my career, I carry with me the lessons learnt during my time at Azam FC. The support I have received from the fans has been nothing short of amazing and I will forever cherish the memories we have created together.
“I believe in the strength and potential of this club, and I have no doubt that it will continue to achieve great things. I wish Azam FC my teammates, the coaching staff and the fans all the sucess and happiness in the world. Thank you for the incredible journey.”
Reasons for Dube’s departure remain unclear, although unconfirmed reports suggest he was complaining of being mistreated by the Tanzanian giants.
