Influential striker Meddie Kagere has demanded for an astonishing Ksh 5 million to extend his contract at Gor Mahia as it is set to expire end of December 2015 soka25east.com can exclusively reveal.

Kagere who joined Gor Mahia at the beginning on the season penning a one year contract put his demands to the Gor Mahia top officials just ahead of Christmas holiday break an issue that did not go down well with the office.

Speaking to soka25east.com a top official who sort anonymity due to the seriousness of the matter said the demands by Kagere were unrealistic “We were suprised when Kagere demanded ksh 5 million to extend his contract.We belive that its been a mutual beneficial relationship between Gor Mahia and Kagere.We gave him the opportunity to rediscover his career and he gave us the service”

“Gor Mahia cannot afford that prize in anyway and its important to note that Kagere is not a young player that has a long career ahead of him.We can only do what is possible but for now we cannot in anyway meet his demand as a club its impossible” the official told soka25east.com

Grapevine is rife that Meddie Kagere is the highest paid player at Gor Mahia earning a whooping Ksh 230,000 per month minus allowances a wage bill that has put the club in dire financial constraints considering they are yet to get a sponsor ever since Tuzo pulled out 2 years ago.

Kagere played a pivotal role in Gor Mahia 2015 season scoring some crucial goals as they finished the league as champions and unbeaten.
