Kenyan football giants Gor Mahia have moved to calm growing speculation surrounding player transfers after issuing an official statement distancing themselves from numerous reports circulating on social media.
The FKF Premier League champions released the statement on June 24, 2026, clarifying that despite ongoing squad planning and player evaluations, no official signings or player departures have been finalized.
The announcement comes amid heightened transfer speculation following Gor Mahia’s successful 2025/26 campaign, which saw the club secure a record-extending league title and qualification for the CAF Champions League.

RE: CLARIFICATION ON PLAYER TRANSFER RUMOURS
The club wishes to address the numerous reports and lists currently circulating on social media regarding players allegedly set to leave the team and those purportedly being targeted for signing.
While it is true that the club has engaged a number of players as part of its ongoing planning and evaluation process, no player has been officially signed or released at this time. We therefore urge our supporters and stakeholders to disregard unverified information and speculation being shared across various platforms.
The club remains committed to conducting its transfer and squad management processes professionally and in the best interests of the team. Any official developments regarding player arrivals, departures or contract matters will be communicated through the club’s official communication channels.
We appreciate your continued support, patience and trust as we work towards strengthening the team for the upcoming season.

Why the Statement Matters
The statement highlights the growing volume of transfer rumours surrounding the club, with various social media accounts publishing alleged lists of players expected to leave and new targets reportedly set to join K’Ogalo.
Gor Mahia’s return to the CAF Champions League has naturally increased expectations among supporters, many of whom are eager to see the club strengthen its squad for both domestic and continental competition. The club’s management appears keen to ensure that official communication remains the only trusted source of transfer information.
Busy Transfer Window Expected
Although Gor Mahia insists that no deals have been completed, the club has acknowledged that it is actively engaging players as part of its recruitment strategy.
Recent seasons have shown that Gor Mahia are willing to make significant moves in the transfer market when necessary. Earlier in 2026, the club strengthened its squad with the signing of South Sudan international Jackson Dwang from Posta Rangers, demonstrating its ambition to remain competitive at the highest level.
With CAF Champions League football on the horizon and increased pressure to maintain domestic dominance, many observers expect the club to reinforce several key areas before the new season begins.
Fans Await Official Announcements
For now, Gor Mahia supporters have been advised to exercise patience and treat transfer reports with caution until official confirmation is provided by the club.
The statement signals that recruitment plans are underway behind the scenes, but the club is determined to handle negotiations professionally and avoid distractions caused by speculation.
As K’Ogalo prepares for another campaign that includes both league and continental commitments, attention will now shift to the club’s official channels for confirmation of any arrivals, departures, or contract renewals in the coming weeks.
