“As a team we think that people out there are trying to course instability in our team and cause confusion. We want to set the record straight and state categorically that we have not been in discussions with anyone concerning our player besides what we hear on media. We are also not interested to sell the boy as he is an important part of our participation and progress in the league.”
Royal AM confirmed that Victor is contracted to them until 2023.
“We wish to request all people to refrain from this malicious statements which are damaging to the image of our team and brand Royal AM. We all have to act responsible and stop punting for the release of the player from our team. We are a professional team and we are just asking to be treated as such. There is no deal nor any discussions with anyone. I hope this matter is now laid to rest and we would appreciate everyone to allow our team to continue with our successful journey in the PSL. More so considering where we come from and what we went through .We respect people’s opinions and wishes which people are entitled to but we also believe that our position should be respected that there is a NOT FOR SALE board at the moment. I THANK YOU.”
