Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Primus National League defending champions APR want to release nine players before signing others as they look to build a stronger team for the 2024\/2025 campaign.<\/p>\n

The military side wants to rebuild again in order to compete at a higher level. They hope to sign more than 12 players so that they go far in the CAF Champions League.<\/p>\n

APR FC will release at least nine players and look for replacements, following a poor run of form in 2023-24 campaign.<\/p>\n

Players likely to be released include Cameroonian Sanda Soulei who joined the team in January 2024, and signed a deal for six months, Danny Ndikumana from Burundi, who is likely to join Marines FC next year, and Ismai\u0308l Pitchou Nshimirimana, also from Burundi, who had asked to be released.<\/p>\n

Rwandan players likely to leave include defender Aime Placide Rwabuhihi, Prince Buregeya, Dieudonne Ndayizimiye, Taiba Mbonyumami, Yannick Bizimana, Alain Bacca Kwitonda and goalkeeper Pierre Ishimwe.<\/p>\n

Police failed to sign Ani<\/p>\n

Police FC failed to secure a deal for Bugesera FC striker Ani Elijah.<\/p>\n

Ani who is wanted in the national team, Amavubi, is one of the players that Police FC needed in order to solve the problem of scoring goals.<\/p>\n

The striker is one of the highlights of the last season where he scored 15 goals, same as Victor Mbaoma of APR FC.<\/p>\n

It is reported that rivals Rayon Sports started talks to sign Ani but nothing conclusive has been done yet.<\/p>\n

Police in race to sign Kirongozi from SC Kiyovu<\/p>\n

Police have changed tact and are eyeing SC Kiyovu striker Richard Kirongozi to strengthen the team ahead of the CAF Confederation Cup.<\/p>\n

Junior Didier Mucyo set to join Al-Jazira<\/p>\n

Rayon Sports full back Junior Didier Mucyo is in talks with United Emirates Arabs team Al-Jazira.<\/p>\n

Mucyo, 25, whose contract with Rayon Sports ended, will go on trial with Al-Jazira in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

Rayon wanted to extend his stay but no agreement was reached.<\/p>\n

It is also reported that Police FC started negotiations with the right back in a bid to build a stronger squad.<\/p>\n

Mucyo arrived at Rayon Sports in the summer of 2022 and helped them win Peace Cup 2022-2023 but in the following season, he failed to get playing time as faced tough competition from experienced right back Ali Serumogo.<\/p>\n
