The club has been in extended negotiations with the Rwandese marksman but failed to agree to terms.<\/p>\n<p>We have tried our best to negotiate with Meddie Kagere but it\u2019s quite unfortunate we will not be able to renew his contract because we can\u2019t meet his high demands,\u201d said chairman Ambrose Rachier to the club site.<\/p>\n<p>Kagere was an influential player for the club in 2015. He scored 13 goals in the Kenya premier league to finish among the top scorers. Most notable was his gem against Nakuru All Stars which is arguably the best goal scored in Kenya in 2015 in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>With Kagere gone, Gor Mahia now have one week to identify a replacement before the CAF deadline. One would hope that they have a backup plan. There have been reports swirling that the club was pursuing another Rwandese striker Jacque Tuyisenge but those reports have not yielded anything.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on Tuesday Kogalo will leave for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to play in the St.George&#8217;s 80th anniversary Cup. St George is the most popular club in Ethiopia and was formed in 1935. They have won the Ethiopian league 27 times.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The event could not have come at a better time considering that we have key matches coming up month. We are really grateful for the invitation,&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/kogalo-set-to-leave-for-ethiopia-as-kagere-departs\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia will need to defend the three titles they won in 2015 without\u00a0 striker Meddie Kagere.
