Victor Wanyama’s future with CF Montreal is becoming increasingly uncertain as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season. The conversation surrounding his departure has gained traction in Canada, given that he has been sidelined for nearly two months.Wanyama, who serves as the club’s assistant captain, last appeared on July 27, 2024, during a League Cup match against Orlando City, which ended in a 4-1 defeat. Since then, he has remained on the bench and was entirely absent from the squad in the last two games.##NAJAVA_MECA_8350580##Recent reports suggest that the former Harambee Stars captain may not remain with the club beyond this campaign, as coach Laurent Courtois looks to rebuild for the upcoming season. Wanyama’s contract is set to expire on December 31, 2024.“It’s hard to say if Wanyama will be included in the final games,” remarked Amine Sabri, a pundit and Montreal fan. “Maybe Courtois feels he could be a negative influence on younger teammates like Sunusi and Opoku.”Sports journalist Andy Conorado expressed a similar sentiment, noting that Wanyama’s repeated exclusions might signal the coach’s desire to part ways with him. “Tonight will be very telling. If Wanyama isn’t on the bench, it sends a strong message to the board,” he stated.Olunga shines in Al Duhail’s big win over Al Sadd, Scriven features in NorwayConorado later confirmed via X that the midfielder was not present at the stadium for the match against Chicago on Sunday. “Victor Wanyama was not present in the stadium tonight”Since joining CF Montreal in January 2020, Wanyama has been a pivotal player for the team. However, in what seems to be his final season, his playing time has significantly diminished, casting doubt on any hopes of extending his stay. He has made 133 appearances for the club.Looking ahead, Wanyama has previously expressed a desire to transition into coaching after his playing career ends. He has played professionally in Kenya, Sweden, Belgium, Scotland, England, and Canada, and remains the only Kenyan to have competed in the English Premier League.“I believe one day I could be a good manager. My motivation is to always learn new things. Football is a game of learning—nobody knows it all. Whatever I do in football, I strive to be the best I can be,” he shared.Stars Abroad: Abuya on target in Yanga rout as Okumu, Wanyama sit out
