Cape Town City Consider Legal Action After Hugo Marques Lied to Get Transfer!

Cape Town City Consider Legal Action After Hugo Marques Lied to Get Transfer! The Cityzens claim they were conned into letting their goalkeeper go for free.

Goalkeeper Hugo Marques was announced as a Petro De Luanda goalkeeper last week. This came as a shock to many as he was seen in the DSTV Premiership just days before this.

According to Phakaaathi, the goalkeeper told the club that his father was critically ill in Portugal, and he asked for some time off. He asked the club to release him so that he could spend an indeterminable amount of time there.

To their surprise, Marques was unveiled as a Petro player just a few days later.

“He left the club because he claimed his father was critically sick in Portugal and he wanted to be close to him. He said anything could happen.” A source from Cape Town City revealed to Phakaaathi.

“When the club offered to give him some time off, he asked that he be released because he would want to play for a small team in Portugal to keep fit so that when he came back, he would not be far behind in terms of fitness. 

“The club was shocked when he turned up at Petro Luanda. But it has since emerged that he had been promised big money there, but the club was not willing to buy him out of his contract at City,”

Darren Keet has since returned to the goalposts for the Cityzens. Cape Town City Consider Legal Action After Hugo Marques Lied to Get Transfer!
