Team captain and central defender Annan Okumu, midfielder Haustine Olouch, and explosive forward Hillary Mshindi have all secured deals in Europe.
They are expected to leave the country after the completion of the national secondary school games and their final examinations.
Musingu’s head coach, Brenden Mwinamo, revealed that Okumu is on the verge of completing a move to Spanish side Leganés, where he will be integrated into their youth academy.
"Hillary Mshindi is going to Sweden, while Annan is heading to Leganés in Spain.
We are waiting for them to complete the school games and exams, then they will have our blessing to go,” said Mwinamo, who coached Annan’s older brother, Joseph Okumu, at Green Commandos in 2014.
Joining Mshindi in the plane to Sweden will be Oluoch, with both players set to join the youth structures of clubs whose identities remain under wraps for now.
“We have a few boys here who have secured moves abroad,” added the long-serving Swahili teacher.

Mwinamo further revealed that Form three student Marvin Ashiundu has also caught the eye of scouts.
David Mbugua, the head scout of Lighthouse Scouting firm, has earmarked a number of players for a potential move once they complete their O-level studies.
“Marvin has been identified by David, but since he is still in Form Three, we will wait for him to grow a bit more, then release him when ready,” said Mwinamo.
While the moves are nearly complete, Mwinamo acknowledged that final paperwork is still being processed, with the formalities typical of European transfers causing some delay.
"The contracts are not yet ready. Most of the documents are done. The Europeans take their time with paperwork, but all is in motion.
We believe it is God’s work, and we are taking it one day at a time. The boys were fortunate to be seen, and now their dreams are becoming reality.”
Before jetting off, the trio have one more piece of business, to help Musingu end their 41-year national title drought.
