Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly taken a new decision regarding their negotiations with AS FAR Rabat for Nasreddine Nabi's services this summer.

The Glamour Boys are said to have reached an agreement with the Tunisian tactician to take over the vacant managerial role at the club next season.

The only stumbling block in the deal was reaching an agreement with his current club, AS FAR, who are currently second in the Moroccan league.

Reports have it that the Soweto giants are waiting for the former AC Leopards manager to complete the season with the Moroccan giants later this week.

Nabi has one more year on his contract with the Moroccan side, and the club are expecting compensation from Amakhosi if they are to take the Tunisian mentor to the PSL before his deal expires.

According to a report by the South African, as per SABC Sport's Mazola Molefe, Chiefs have now decided to compensate AS FAR for Nabi's services, which means they are willing to pay for the Tunisian coach's final year deal with the Moroccan giants.

"The Soweto giants, who finished the 2023/24 campaign in a woeful 10th position – the worst in the club's history, are now willing to pay compensation to AS FAR because Nabi remains contracted until June 2025," Molefe confirmed.

The amount Kaizer Chiefs are expected to pay AS FAR is yet to be disclosed, but there is a possibility it will end up being an undisclosed fee.

Top 5 earners at Kaizer Chiefs

Sports Brief earlier reported that known for their financial prowess, some of the highest earners in the PSL are Chiefs players.

With the imminent departure of Itumeleng Khune from the Naturena, Keagan Dolly is said to be the front-runner to take over the club's captaincy.

Dolly, who earns a staggering R1.45 million, is the highest-paid Amakhosi player, but he had been linked with a possible exit from the club.
