Bbaale made his mark at Villa last season since joining the club from the Masaza Cup in 2021, where he finished as the tournament's top scorer.

SC Villa faces the possibility of losing their star striker, Charles Bbaale, as the club has yet to offer him a new contract, with the player running impatient of waiting.

Bbaale's previous contract expired at the end of the last season, leaving his future at SC Villa uncertain.

Bbaale made his mark at Villa last season since joining the club from the Masaza Cup in 2021, where he finished as the tournament's top scorer.

Initially signing a two-year contract, his first season at the club was marred by limited playing time due to injury.

However, the left-footed striker showcased his true potential last season, playing a pivotal role as SC Villa launched an unlikely title challenge.

Despite falling short of clinching the league title on the final day of the season, Bbaale's contributions were invaluable.

He netted an impressive 12 goals, finishing just one goal behind the eventual top scorer, Allan Kayiwa.

Bbaale's performances caught the attention of both fans and rival clubs, with his goal-scoring prowess and skill on display throughout the campaign.

The player's patience is wearing thin, as he seeks clarity about his future and the commitment of SC Villa towards him.

The absence of a contract offer has given rival clubs an opportunity to express their interest and potentially secure Bbaale's signature.

With interest pouring in from clubs in Uganda, Kenya, Switzerland, and South Africa, Bbaale finds himself at a crossroads.

The prospect of new challenges and opportunities at clubs both domestically and abroad is enticing for the striker.
