Silver Strikers’ capture of three players from Wizards FC cost the club about K7.5 million, according to Super League of Malawi (Sulom) records.
Sulom general secretary, Williams Banda, confirmed on Wednesday that the transfers of Brighton Munthali, Levison Maganizo and Mark Fodya to the Bankers were one of the first to be officially sanctioned by the league’s governing body.
“I can confirm that the transfers were among the first transfers that have been completed this transfer window with our blessings.
According to our records, Silver paid K7.5 million for the players. Wizards have also loaned out two other players,” he said.
Banda added that the only other transfer that has been officially concluded is Mzuni FC’s capture of Brave Phiri and Lughano Kayira from Chawalala and Kabwafu respectively.
“As for Sulom, as far as transfers are concerned, those are the only ones that have been concluded. Everything else is off the record,” he said.
