Kaizer Chiefs are continuing their pursuit of talented Tanzanian midfielder Feisal Salum, but the road to securing his signature is proving to be challenging.
The club faces significant hurdles in the form of a hefty buyout clause and contract complexities.
Salum, who currently plays for Azam FC, has been on Chiefs’ radar for some time.
His impressive performances and versatility have made him a highly sought-after player in the region. However, acquiring his services will not be easy.
Azam FC has placed a significant buyout clause on Salum’s contract, reportedly set at R36 million. This substantial fee reflects the club’s valuation of the player and their reluctance to let him go.
Chiefs will need to be prepared to meet this demand or negotiate a more favorable deal.
In addition to the buyout clause, the complexity of Salum’s contract presents another obstacle. The midfielder has a long-term agreement with Azam FC that extends well into the future.
This means that even if Chiefs manage to negotiate a transfer fee, they may still face challenges in securing a deal.
Despite these hurdles, Chiefs remain interested in Salum and are monitoring his situation closely. The club is reportedly exploring various options to acquire his services, including potential negotiations with Azam FC or exploring other avenues.
Salum’s talent and potential are undeniable. His ability to control the midfield, create scoring chances, and contribute defensively make him a valuable asset to any team.
If Chiefs can overcome the challenges and secure his signature, it would be a significant boost to their squad.
However, the road ahead is likely to be long and difficult. Chiefs will need to be patient and persistent in their pursuit of Salum. Only time will tell if they will be successful in bringing the talented midfielder to South Africa.
