According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs are close to acquiring a Zambian striker who spent two weeks on trial with the club in December 2022.
Christian Saile may have played his farewell game for Nchanga Rangers this weekend, according to sources familiar to SABC Sport, with Chiefs expected to be his next destination.
In addition, the publication claims that Chiefs and The Democratic Republic of Congo marksman have returned to the negotiating table in an effort to finalize the agreement.
Not very long ago, Zambian media reported that the deal had fallen through because Rangers and Chiefs could not reach an agreement.
The latest development could indicate that Rangers and Chiefs have reached an agreement, leaving Saile to negotiate personal terms.
KAIZER CHIEFS MAKE PROGRESS IN SAILE SEARCH – REPORT “Zambian-based Democratic Republic of Congo winger/striker Christian Saile is expected to return to South Africa to finalize his contract with Kaizer Chiefs, according to SABC Sport.
The Zambian media reported earlier in the week that transfer talks between Salle’s club Nchanga Rangers and Chiefs had broken down because the two teams could not agree on the player’s value.
The most recent development, however, is that the parties have returned to the negotiating table, paving the path for Saile to negotiate personal terms with Chiefs.
Chiefs’ difficulties in front of goal are well-documented, and Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana and Ashley du Preez are currently their sole reliable strikers.
Several of their strikers, including Keagan Dolly and Khama Billiat, are anticipated to score goals, although they have not done so frequently.
And this has put so much pressure on Caleb, who has seven goals but missed a penalty in his last game as AmaZulu defeated Chiefs 4-0.
