Orlando Pirates were already facing an uphill task for one of their top transfer targets for the next window and it just got tougher!
Chiefs seem to have pulled out of the race, however, leaving Pirates as the only PSL team interested in Nwabali.
Nwabali, who currently plies his trade for the Eastern Cape-based side, was a surprise inclusion as first choice for Nigeria at Afcon. This was due to the fact that he had only one cap for the Super Eagles prior to the showpiece. He would end up playing all seven games for Nigeria in Ivory Coast, keeping four clean sheets. He also played a huge role in the team finishing as runners-up at the tournament.
Beyond European interest, Chiefs arch-rivals Pirates were also believed to have entered the race. In fact, this publication had reported they were willing to swap Ghana’s number onefor Nwabali. That deal is also thought to involve a cash exchange. Whatever the Buccaneers end up doing in their pursuit, doesn’t seem like Amakhosi will be willing to match. , if Pirates are still interested, one of their competitors for Nwabali is from Belgium.
