Warriors defender Teenage Hadebe shut down rumors about joining a Zimbabwean club after people started freaking out when he gave away his Lionel Messi jersey to Scott Sakupwanya, who runs the country's top domestic team. The Cincinnati player said he was just showing respect for how Sakupwanya has been upgrading local soccer standards, and he made it pretty clear his head is still in MLS mode.
His American club already locked him down by triggering a contract extension before it expired at the month's end. Someone close to the situation said Hadebe feels super comfortable in Cincinnati and sees himself as part of what the team is building there. He basically told everyone that maybe something could happen down the road, but right at this moment, he's staying put and letting fate handle the rest.
