KickOff reported that the striker, who is in the last month of his contract with the Soweto giants, had signed a lucrative deal with Shauwn Mkhize’s side. His agent Dajan Simic and Royal AM CEO Sinky Mnisi rubbished the claims, however.

The Citizen now reports that the Amakhosi and the player’s agent are still in discussion regarding extending his contract at the club, hence they have yet to comment on the issue.

A source who spoke to the publication said they don’t see the player extending his contract with the club though, as he didn’t fit in with their new style of play.

The question around whether Samir Nurković has signed for Royal AM remains. The Serbian striker was the subject of much transfer speculation yesterday as news broke that he had signed a big-money deal with Shauwn Mkhize’s Royal AM side.

Nurković is in the last month of his contract with the Amakhosi and free to negotiate with other teams. Many believed that was the case yesterday when KickOff reported the Serbian would be heading to KwaZulu-Natal to join the ambitious Royal AM outfit.

Royal AM’s Chief Executive Officer Sinky Mnisi has now also rubbished the reports of the Serbian’s signing, Goal.com reported. He added that he was the one who signed players at the club and knew nothing of it.

Is Samir Nurković a Royal AM player or isn’t he? That’s the question football fans and news outlets are currently asking, Sports Brief reported.

Kaizer Chiefs had until the end of March to exercise an option of extending his contract by a year but failed to do so. The Glamour Boys asked to be given until the end of May to decide, but the player’s agent denied this.

KickOff reported earlier that Nurković had agreed on a lucrative two-year deal with Shauwn Mkhize’s side with a further option of an additional year.
