The Chipolopolo forward is close to completing his switch to the Portuguese Liga NOS outfit CS Maritimo the ZamFoot Crew understands.
Shonga, 23, has been out of favor at Orlando Pirates in the recent past and has only managed to play eleven games for the Buccaneers in all competitions without contributing any goal or assisting one.
The players’ agent Karabo Mathang-Tshabuse confirmed the interest in an interview with Kick off magazine two days ago.
I can confirm that there is interest from Maritimo but at the moment it’s a situation that is between the teams to decide. So I can categorically confirm that there is interest but it’s for the teams to reach some kind of agreement. It is now before the two teams.
Shonga has been a topic of transfer speculations in the recent past with YANGA coach Luc Eymael coming out to confirm interest and reveal that Shonga wanted a huge salary hence the talks broke down.
Should the move materialize, Shonga will become the third Zambian in history after Webby Shikabala and Collins Mbesuma to play for the Madeira based side.
