Azam slap huge price tag on reported Chiefs target Feisal Salum
According to a source, Azam have put the huge transfer fee in order to scare off potential suitors.
Azam FC has set an astronomical price tag of $10 million (over R161 million) for their Tanzanian international star, Feisal Salum. The club's valuation is reportedly aimed at deterring any potential offers from other teams, including Kaizer Chiefs, who have long been interested in signing the 28-year-old. Azam FC's management does not intend to sell Salum, as they highly value his services and wish to retain him for as long as possible.
The source explains that the massive transfer fee is meant to intimidate prospective buyers, noting that any club would face a significant financial risk in signing a player with limited experience at the highest level and for such a steep price. With Salum's contract due to expire in June, Azam FC may be compelled to sell him, either to recoup their investment or to prevent him from leaving without compensation.
Salum's professional journey began at Jeshi la Kujenga Uchumi Sports Club in 2016, before moving to Young Africans SC in 2018, where he spent five years before joining Azam FC in July 2023.
