As of January 31, 2025, Clement Mzize’s potential transfer to Wydad Athletic Club has encountered significant obstacles. The Moroccan club had shown interest in acquiring Mzize from Young Africans (Yanga), along with his teammate Stephane Aziz Ki. However, Yanga has made it clear that they are not willing to entertain offers unless they meet their asking price of USD $800,000 for each player.
Yanga’s Position on Player Transfers
Young Africans have taken a firm stance regarding the transfer of their players. A senior official from Yanga confirmed that while there is interest from various clubs, including Wydad and others both within Africa and internationally, no formal offers have been received. The club is focused on maintaining its squad for the remainder of the season and has communicated this by sending an official letter to Wydad stating that negotiations are closed. This indicates that Yanga intends to keep Mzize and Aziz Ki for their ongoing title race in the Tanzanian Premier League.
Mzize’s Performance and Interest from Other Clubs
Clement Mzize has been a standout performer for Yanga, particularly noted for his contributions in the CAF Champions League where he scored four goals in five appearances. His impressive performances have attracted attention not only from Wydad but also from other clubs, including inquiries from European teams and those in Egypt. Despite this interest, reports suggest that Mzize is not planning to leave Yanga during the current transfer window.
Given the current situation, it appears unlikely that Clement Mzize will move to Wydad Athletic Club during this transfer window. The combination of Yanga’s high valuation of their players, their need to retain them for competitive purposes, and the lack of formal offers suggests that any potential deal is improbable at this time.
