Kaizer Chiefs withdraw interest in Nwabali

Sports Brief earlier reported that Chippa United have slammed a heft price tag on Stanley Nwabali, forcing rivals Kaizer Chiefs to back out from their ambition of signing the Super Eagles goalkeeper in the summer.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper attracted the interest of several clubs around the globe including teams in Saudi Arabia after starring for Nigeria’s Super Eagles at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

Kaizer Chiefs who were one of the leading clubs interested in Nwabali have backed out of any deal to sign the Nigerian after Chippa United slammed a whopping R30 million as his price tag.
