The Serbian forward is in the last month of his contract with the Amakhosi and is free to sign for any other club. Kaizer Chiefs had until the end of March to exercise the 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 make a decision, but this was denied by the player’s agent. KickOff reported earlier that Nurković had agreed a lucrative two-year deal with Shauwn Mkhize’s side with a further option of an additional year.

The news was also reported by TransferMarkt on Twitter.

Nurković enjoyed a stellar first season with the Amakhosi, scoring 14 goals. He sadly struggled for form and with injuries during his second season at the Soweto club and has failed to replicate those numbers.

His agent though has rubbished the news that Nurković had signed for the KwaZulu-Natal club. Speaking to SABC Sport, the player’s agent Dajan Simac said that the news was not true.

“Of course, there has been a lot of interest in Samir, but he is still a Chiefs player and we are talking to the club about the future. I don’t know anything about the rumours that he will be joining Royal AM.”

Samir Nurković aims to inspire Kaizer Chiefs to a high finish, his future with the Amakhosi remains in doubt

Kaizer Chiefs are still looking to secure a top-two finish in this season’s DStv Premiership and one man hoping to inspire that is Samir Nurković. The Serbian has struggled for form this season after being hampered by injuries and has only played 10 games for the Amakhosi thus far.

With the season winding down, Nurković finally scored his first game for the club this season in the 3-1 win against Chippa United. The Serbian was said to be in a much better place since breaking the goal drought, IOL reported.

Nurković admitted that it was difficult finding his feet again after the injury layoff but wasn’t going to rest on his laurels. Dedicated as he is to finding form once again, Nurković is also dedicated to leading Chiefs to a high finish this season, Sports Brief reported.
