US$1m offer for the Pretty Prince

PRINCE DUBE’S profile is soaring rapidly, across the continent, and Moroccan champions, Raja Casablanca, have become the latest giants to target him with a US$1 million offer to secure his signature.

The 23-year-old Zimbabwe international forward has transformed himself into one of the hottest properties, in African football, with a flying start to life at Tanzanian side Azam FC.

His form has attracted the interest of some of the continent’s heavyweight clubs, including Raja Casablanca, who are now prepared to splash the cash, and take the Pretty Prince, to Morocco.

That will probably give him the perfect stage he needs, to attract the interests of clubs from Europe, where he says he wants to end up playing his football.

“Yes, there is interest from Raja Casablanca and some crazy figures are being talked about but it’s unlikely to happen because Azam would rather have Prince completing this season playing for them,’’ sources told The Herald.

“A million United States dollars is good money, anywhere in the world, but Azam are not desperate for money right now and, given a choice between winning the league, and getting a million dollars, the club’s owners will go for the league.

“That is where things get complicated for this deal to go through, right now, because the Tanzanian club want their player to, at least, complete the season in their team.

“The good thing is that Prince is making a case for himself, which every footballer should do, and it’s not easy for strikers, because they are always judged by the number of goals they score and they are as good as their last goal.

“If he keeps scoring the goals, which he is capable of doing right now because he has always been a very good player, then other offers — maybe even from Europe — are likely to come for him. The Herald
