We met him on Monday, whereby he was offered Ksh.500,000 signing-on fee and a monthly salary of Sh.120,000, but he declined and told us Gor Mahia were offering him one million shillings in sign-on fee. We have given up on him and wish him the best,” said the official.Bandari might have missed out on the former Kariobangi Sharks winger, but have certainly pulled a transfer coup after landing the services of Kenyan international Daniel Sakari.FKFPL: Gor Mahia go unscathed, City, Tusker resurgence continues as Shabana sink deeperThe official said the club had agreed on terms with the right back, who is in his final year at Tusker.
