As the transfer window opens, Kaizer Chiefs are eager to make quick moves to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.

After a somewhat disappointing start under new coach Nasreddine Nabi, Chiefs are looking to bolster their team with key additions.

Chiefs Push for Key Signings

In the previous transfer window, Chiefs gave Nabi seven new signings to help kickstart his tenure at the club.

However, the results haven’t quite matched expectations, prompting Nabi to call for top-quality additions to improve the squad.

With the transfer window now open, Chiefs are ready to act quickly on the rumors surrounding potential signings.

Chiefs Linked to Feisal Salum

One of the key players linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs is Feisal Salum, an attacking midfielder who has been in stellar form for FC Azam. Salum impressed last season by scoring 19 goals and has continued his strong performances this season with 13 goal contributions, including four goals and nine assists.

Both Chiefs and Simba SC are reportedly eager to secure his signature in the January transfer window.

Chiefs’ Bid for Salum Rejected

It was initially believed that Chiefs were preparing a R15 million offer for Salum, but it has now been confirmed that the club made a substantial bid for the player. However, FC Azam rejected the offer.

According to reports, Azam has set a hefty price tag of R40 million for their star midfielder, a figure that Chiefs may need to reconsider if they are serious about landing him.

Azam’s High Price Tag

Azam FC’s management is reportedly firm on their valuation of Salum, with an insider revealing that the club would only entertain offers above 5 billion Tanzanian Shillings, which converts to roughly R40 million.

The club views Salum as their best player and is determined to keep him unless they receive an offer that meets their demands.

This hefty price tag may be a strategy to deter potential suitors, but it also reflects how highly the Tanzanian club values their star.

Chiefs’ Budget for Transfers

Kaizer Chiefs are said to have a budget of R100 million for the transfer window, which raises the question of whether they should allocate R40 million to secure Salum’s services.

Chiefs fans and football pundits alike are eager to know if the club will go through with such a high-priced move or if they will pursue other options.

What are your thoughts on Chiefs’ pursuit of Feisal Salum and the potential price tag? Would R40 million be worth it for the midfielder? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
