One of Rwanda's most talented footballers playing abroad, Mugisha Bonheur, shone brightly last season representing Stade Tunisien. His exceptional performance helped his team secure 6th place in the league standings and reach the final of the national cup, where they were defeated by Espérance Sportive de Tunis.
Mugisha Bonheur, a skilled defensive midfielder, contributed five vital goals during the season. Currently, reports suggest he is in advanced talks to join Al Masry, one of Egypt's Premier League giants.
The potential transfer, valued at $350,000—approximately 505,841,017.50 Rwanda Francs—could etch his name in history as Rwanda’s most expensive footballer ever.
These developments were revealed by one of his representatives, who shared with InyaRwanda that, despite Mugisha having a year remaining on his contract with Stade Tunisien, several top Tunisian clubs are keen to sign him.
The representative disclosed that Mugisha is currently in discussions with Club Africain and Espérance Sportive de Tunis, with a possibility that one of these elite clubs may clinch the deal.
Looking ahead, Mugisha and his Stade Tunisien teammates are preparing for the highly anticipated Super Cup final against Espérance Sportive de Tunis this Sunday. Notably, Mugisha showcased his prowess by scoring the decisive goal that eliminated US Monastir to secure their place in the final.
The remarkable athlete began his journey in football at Heroes FC, progressing to Mukura VS and later to APR FC. His path then led him overseas to join Al Ahli Tripoli in Libya before signing with Stade Tunisien, where he continues to excel.
The transfer of Mugisha Bonheur to Egypt could set a new financial benchmark in Rwanda's football history.
Mugisha Bonheur is on the verge of becoming Rwanda’s most valuable football export.
