Chiefs are said to have offered Azam a significant offer for the 26-year-old, but the offer falls short of the R40 million evaluation by the club for the Tanzanian international.

“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,” said a source.

Azam are also said to be keen to extend Salum’s contract which expires in 2026.

“Feisal is a very important player for Azam and they want to offer him an improved contract to keep him beyond the current deal. They want to challenge for the league title and play in the CAF Champions League and they need their best player in order to achieve this,” added the source.

Azam currently sit third in the Tanzanian Premier League, four points behind log leaders Simba SC, but have played a game more than Fadlu Davids’ team.
