The big-spending Tanzanian side have asked for their money back following Ronney Onyango’s refusal to move to the club after an agreement had been reached over his transfer.
Tanzania club Singida Black Stars have reportedly demanded a refund of the transfer fee paid to Gor Mahia for the services of defender Ronney Onyango.
Onyango has been the subject of interest from Singida and was reported to be on his way out of Gor Mahia this month after the two clubs reached an agreement, with the player also said to have given a greenlight to the move.
However, with Gor Mahia confirming his imminent departure at the weekend, the full-back made a U-turn, turning down the offer to join the big-spending Tanzanian with an eye on a move elsewhere when his contract ends in June.

Gor Mahia defender rejects move to Tanzania despite K’Ogalo confirming transfer
The full-back has refuted reports that he is on his way to Tanzania even after Gor Mahia confirmed the transfer and reportedly received part of the transfer fee.
Now, as per Mozzart Sport, Sungida are demanding a refund of what they had paid Gor Mahia, having reportedly agreed a $40,000 (Ksh5.17 million) fee with the Kenyan champions for Onyango.
“It’s true that Singida has written to us demanding a refund if we cannot complete the transfer. We’re unsure of the exact amount, but the initial agreed sum was USD 40,000. We are working to resolve the issue internally and hope to find an amicable solution soon,” a source told Mozzart Sport.
When contacted over the issue, Gor Mahia CEO Raymond Oruo did not wish to comment on the transfer fee but admitted that the move has hit a snag.

Gor Mahia set to lose key defender to Tanzanian moneybags Singida Black Stars
The defender has agreed to join the big-spending Singida Black Stars where he will link up with Kenyan colleagues Elvis Rupia and Joash Onyango.
“Ronney is still a Gor Mahia player. There was an agreement between the two clubs but the player and the Tanzanian club did not agree terms,” Oruo told Pulse Sports.
Gor Mahia secretary general Sam Ochola had confirmed that the transfer was already in motion with the FKF Premier League champions having pocketed part of the agreed fee.
“The player informed us a few weeks ago that he had agreed terms with Singida and we have been talking to them and indicated that we don’t have a problem letting him go. He will leave this month and join the Tanzanian side,” Ochola was quoted on Saturday, a day before the player refuted the claims.
