“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.
