Acting Head of Information and Communication at Simba Club, Ezekiel Kamwaga has clarified the questions raised after Simba announced the sale of Clatous Chama and Luis Miquissone without mentioning the price and the teams they are joining
Here is part of his description;
There are people who question why the Simba SC statement does not say the cost of sales or the teams that Clatous Chama na Luis Miquissone joins.
Cost It is not necessary for a club to specify the costs incurred to sell or purchase a player. Even in the most developed leagues in the world, prices are not always mentioned for every sale.
In English they say Undisclosed. When Marouane Fellaini left Everton for Manchester United, the price was not mentioned.
Yes, there are reasons why costs are mentioned and there are reasons why costs are not mentioned. It is quite common in football.
Maybe I should give you a little example of why sometimes costs are not mentioned. A player can be registered for a very large bet and it became a burden to him.
Fans relied heavily on him early. To help avoid stress from the start, the costs are hidden.
Sometimes a team pays so much money that its fans can question all the money you give this one? Why did you sign another player up for less money? The team decides to remain silent.
The reasons for not mentioning are many.
The statement does not say where they are going?
Not necessarily too. Each team has its own system of announcing new players. They want to be the first to announce a new player and benefit from it.
They want you to sell the player and they will advertise themselves. You agree. Now, in that context, Simba SC cannot say where they are going because it will violate the agreement.
It will soon be known where they are going. And you would be more confused in one statement if we said this one is going there and this one is not.
The report has cleared the confusion. We still have a long way to go in learning these transfers issues. Let's keep learning.
