Sithole, scorer of 10 goals in 10 matches for Caps United, signed a Five-year deal with the Brazilians. United CEO Maxwell Mironga said they would find a replacement and would boost their strike force during the transfer window in July.
“It was a hard decision to let him go because we also wanted to keep the player and built a strong squad to challenge for the championship.
But sometimes you realise that football has become business and you need to make decisions based on that. We will look for one or two players in the market to boost the strike force during the transfer window next month," said Mironga.
Sithole had replaced Nyasha Mushekwi who joined Sundowns last season Sithole joins fellow countrymen Esrom Nyandoro, defender Method Mwanjali, striker Mushekwi and midfielder Lionel Mtizwa.
