Rayon Sports have mutually terminated the contract of winger Abdelaziz ‘Rivaldo’ Harerimana, just six months after his arrival at the club.

Harerimana joined the Blues in July 2025 on a two-year deal but struggled to convince the technical bench. The club had planned to loan him out during the January transfer window; however, the player declined the move, leading both parties to agree on an early separation.

The winger has since been granted a release letter, making him a free agent and eligible to sign for any club. Times Sport understands that Harerimana is currently in talks with AS Kigali, while a return to his former side, Gasogi United, remains a strong possibility.

Rayon Sports are also considering further squad changes as part of an ongoing restructuring process. Goalkeeper Pavelh Ndzila, defender Prince Musore, and midfielders Adama Bagayogo and Olivier ‘Seif’ Niyonzima are among the players who could be released.

All four are currently excluded from the squad preparing for Saturday’s 2025 Peace Cup showdown against APR FC at Amahoro Stadium.

The club is simultaneously working to balance its finances following the recent signings of Olivier Kwizera, Likau Faustin Kitoko, Yannick Bangala, Ben Aziz Dao, Ramazani Tshimanga Tshilembi, and Bienvenu Joachim Vignino.
