Aston Villa have upset Johan Manzambi’s camp with Visit Rwanda deal | OneFootball

Aston Villa have reportedly upset Johan Manzambi’s representatives with their Visit Rwanda deal.

They recently announced Visit Rwanda as their principal partner, official tourism partner and official coffee provider.

The Switzerland international is in advanced talks to join the Midlands club after snubbing Newcastle United, but the move could be threatened due to their latest partnership.

Mazambi was born in Switzerland to parents from Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwanda are believed to be sponsoring genocide in Eastern DR Congo.

Eastern DR Congo borders Rwanda, and Arsenal have had to end their partnership with Visit Rwanda as a result.

Manzambi’s camp is unhappy about him joining Villa given they now have Visit Rwanda as a sponsor.

Newcastle will be monitoring the situation as they have yet to give up their pursuit of the World Cup star.

Manzambi and his representatives were unaware Villa were in talks with Visit Rwanda over a sponsorship deal.

They would have ended talks before they started, and now have to make a decision in the coming days.

He could excuse himself from sponsor events, but wearing a jersey with Visit Rwanda on its front is not something he will be comfortable doing.
