WARRIORS striker Prince Dube's transfer saga in Tanzania is raging on with reports yesterday suggesting that his club Azam had rejected an offer from rivals Yanga for his signature.

The former Highlanders striker is forcing his exit from the club he joined four years ago, but the divorce is turning out to be nasty.

Dube wants to cancel his contract immediately, which he claims is ending in June this year, while Azam says the deal still has two more years.

Dube has reportedly offered Azam US$150 000 to be released from the contract, but the club is demanding over US$300 000.

The Warriors gunman has since stopped training and playing for Azam as he tries to force his move away and the dispute has already been referred to the Tanzania Football Federation who are set to make their judgment this week.

However, Yanga has made manoeuvres to sign the striker and the parties have reportedly agreed on a two-year contract.

Reports from Tanzania yesterday suggested the cash-rich club had bought a luxury house for Dube in Salasala, a few kilometres from the Indian Ocean beach as part of the deal.

A source who was quoted by a Tanzanian publication confirmed that Dube has signed for Yanga.

“Dube has signed for Yanga, it is the only club he wants to play for in Tanzania. The contract has many aspects, a house, a car and the salary is also very high. It is time Azam just leave him alone because they have offered him an improved contract which he turned down. He is not happy with Azam life anymore. If you speak to him, he is so sure of what he wants. He says he wants to play for a club that has a habit of winning trophies because he wants to be successful wherever he goes.”

Relations between Azam and Yanga are frosty as a result of the dispute and Dube has been forced to move around with bodyguards in recent weeks.
