FIACRE NTWARI LEAVING KAIZER CHIEFS?

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly planning to make a quick decision that was not expected five months ago.

The 24-year-old Burundian goalkeeper joined Amakhosi in August 2024 from TS Galaxy. He briefly owned the gloves before a few errors and an injury on international duty cost him his number-one spot at Kaizer Chiefs in November 2024. According to Soccer Laduma, the Soweto Giants are considering a loan deal to recruit Zambia’s Toaster Nsabata.

“The club has identified that the department is a bit shaky and that’s why they have enquired about Zambia national team goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata,” the report said. “But to bring him in they need to at least release one or loan one goalkeeper and they are considering loaning out Ntwari at the moment. It’s not clear whether it would in January or at the end of the season. For now, the main focus is one goalkeeper at a time, and are going at the moment,” the report added.

Here we go:R6 million offer rejected: Kaizer Chiefs told to cough up R40 million!

Kaizer Chiefs FC have been told to substantially increase their offer for one of Nasreddine Nabi’s key transfer targets!

Kaizer Chiefs FC look set to miss out on signing one of Nasreddine Nabi’s top transfer targets.

26-year-old Tanzanian attacking midfielder Feisal Salum has strongly been linked with a move to Naturena during recent weeks.

Salum, who enjoyed a glorious spell under Nasreddine Nabi at Young Africans, is one of the Tunisian’s priority targets.

However, his current club Azam FC have slapped a staggering price tag on him!

According to the latest reports, Kaizer Chiefs’ improved offer for Salum was rejected as the Tanzanian side are holding out for their R40 million valuation.

“Chiefs are said to have offered Azam a significant offer for the 26-year-old, but the offer falls short of the R40 million evaluation by the club for the Tanzanian international,” the Citizen reported.

“Unless Chiefs offer what Azam wants, I don’t see the deal happening anytime soon. What’s more, Feisal wants to stay in Tanzania and with Simba also interested, it seems he’s likely to join them,” a source told the same publication.

According to reputable African football journalist Micky Jnr, Kaizer Chiefs tabled an offer worth approximately R6 million for Salum, which was rejected by Azam FC.

Mduduzi Shabalala is reportedly closely being monitored by a European club! Kaizer Chiefs are aware of the interest, and have rushed to tie their young ace down to a new contract at the club.

“No it’s not the same team. It’s a different club all together but there has been interest from another European club for Mduduzi Shabalala,” an insider told Soccer Laduma.

“The club is aware of that but they are not putting pressure on the player as he is enjoying his game at the moment and they are not entertaining any interest from other clubs, as things stand. But Kaizer Chiefs are not sure how long they will hold onto him with the form that he is currently in.”
