Dynamos Football Club is on the verge of a mass exodus of senior players at the end of the current season, with a number of key figures set to leave the team after a challenging campaign.

The Glamour Boys have endured one of their worst seasons since 2021, with instability at the club compounded by financial struggles. Reports indicate that a lack of stable financial flows is one of the main reasons behind the departure of many senior players, who are still owed significant amounts of money, including unpaid sign-on fees and bonuses dating back to August.

The financial turmoil has led to widespread discontent among the players, with several protests and refusals to train occurring throughout the season due to unresolved payment issues.

Key Players Set to Leave

Among the key players set to exit is team captain Frank Makarati. The 30-year-old defender, who has been with Dynamos since his time at Ngezi Platinum, is reportedly on his way to join newly crowned 2024 league champions, Simba Bhora. Makarati, whose contract expires at the end of December, is said to have no intention of renewing with Dynamos and will reunite with former coach Tonderai Ndiraya at Simba Bhora.

Defenders Elvis and Kelvin Moyo are also expected to leave the club, with both players reportedly in talks with Scottland FC, a newly promoted team to the top-flight league. Scottland's executive has expressed keen interest in securing the Moyo twins, who are among the club's top transfer targets for the upcoming season.

Dynamos could also lose midfielder Tanaka Shandirwa, as his parent club, Yadah FC, is reportedly looking to reclaim him after his two-year loan spell with the Glamour Boys. The same fate may await Issa Sadiki, another player on loan from Yadah FC.

Additionally, industrious midfielder Donald Mudadi, who has been a standout performer for Dynamos, is rumored to be linked with a move to Scottland FC. Scottland coach Genesis Mangombe is said to have recommended Mudadi as part of his plans to strengthen the squad for the club's first season in the top-flight league.

The looming departures have raised concerns among Dynamos fans, who have already witnessed a turbulent season on the pitch. With multiple key players set to leave, the club will need to find solutions to their financial woes and rebuild for the next campaign.

As the season draws to a close, all eyes will be on Dynamos' leadership and how they address the exodus of players and the ongoing financial challenges. Fans are hoping for swift resolutions to ensure that the club remains competitive in the coming years.
