Nasreddine Nabi and Kaizer Chiefs’ top target, Feisal Salum, spent two years together at Young Africans before leaving in July 2023.

Both went their separate ways; Nabi spent a year at Morocco’s AS FAR Rabat before settling in Soweto. Meanwhile, Salum relocated to rival club Azam FC, who currently lie third in the Tanzanian Premier League.

Kaizer Chiefs’ desire to sign Salum was directly influenced by Nabi’s arrival – after six months of trying, a reunion has never looked more likely.

Salum to become free agent

According to reports, The Azam midfielder has told his club he will not sign a contract extension, making him a free agent in the offseason, opening the door for Kaizer Chiefs.

“Feisal Salum has made his decision and informed the club that he will not extend his contract,” Africafoot.com confirmed.

“He is enjoying his experience at Azam, a big club, but he wants to explore new opportunities at the end of the season,

“A move to Kaizer Chiefs? It is still too early to say for sure, but it is a very serious possibility.”

Nabi shortlisted for Tunisia

While a reunion is on the cards, there’s speculation of Nabi’s exit for the Tunisian national team:

“A new report now claims that Kaizer Chiefs boss Nasreddine Nabi is among the candidates for the managerial role at a top African nation,” KickOff reported.

“According to reports in Tunisia, Nabi is being considered for the men’s national team job. But despite having been in Naturena for just over six months, Tunisia are said to be weighing up the possibility of hiring Nabi,

“According to WinWin.com, the Tunisian Football Federation has allocated an estimated salary of $9,000 (R166 000) per month for their next national team manager. Nabi has been included in that shortlist of alternative candidates, alongside free agent Sami Trabelsi, Stade Tunisien mentor Maher Kanzari, and Al-Khor SC boss Mehdi Nafti.”
