SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt has shared new details about the ongoing discussions surrounding Kaizer Chiefs’ attacker Christian Saile.

After months of speculation, it seems the Congolese forward is on his way to join SuperSport United, though some details are still being worked out.

Saile’s Transfer to SuperSport United Still Under Negotiation

Saile has been consistently linked with a move from Chiefs to SuperSport United, and Hunt has now confirmed that talks are ongoing.

Despite the deal involving Tashreeq Morris being concluded at Chiefs, Saile continues to report for duty at Naturena.

The reason behind Saile’s potential departure lies in Chiefs’ need to free up space in their foreign player quota.

With the arrival of new signing Glody Lilepo, the club’s technical team, led by Nasreddine Nabi, decided to let go of Saile to make room for the new signing.

This has opened up an opportunity for SuperSport United to step in.

Details Still Being Finalized, Hunt Expects Update Soon

While Hunt is certain that Saile will be joining SuperSport, he’s not yet sure how far along the negotiations are.

He’s expecting a more solid update from the club’s hierarchy by Thursday afternoon or evening.

“There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes.

I’m not deeply involved in the paperwork side, but I’ll be getting updates on where we stand,” Hunt said during a press conference.

“Right now, I don’t have all the details, but I should know more soon.”

Work Permit and Paperwork Complications

Hunt also acknowledged the complexities of Saile’s transfer, especially since he is a foreign player.

Securing a work permit and finalizing all the necessary paperwork are part of the complicated process.

Hunt pointed out that these elements are crucial to completing the deal and ensuring Saile can play for SuperSport United.

“We know what we’re getting with Saile, and we’ll use him in a way that suits our needs.

But right now, the paperwork is the big focus,” Hunt added.

Saile’s Potential at SuperSport United

With Saile’s transfer still in the works, fans are left wondering how he’ll fit into SuperSport United’s squad.

Hunt has hinted at utilizing him differently, though that remains to be seen once the deal is finalized.
