This Orlando Pirates player is unhappy and is actively searching for a new club to join.
Orlando Pirates have released FIVE players so far – Innocent Maela, Miguel Timm, Paseka Mako, Thabiso Monyane and Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo.
However, they are not done with trimming their squad. In fact, FOUR more Bucs players are heading out of Mayfair. Now, one of them is searching for a new club with plans for his departure already underway.
PIRATES MIDFIELDER PURSUING A NEW CLUB
Karim Kimvuidi wants to leave Pirates.
Moreover, the midfielder is pursuing a move to another club.
“Kimvuidi is pursuing a move from Pirates after two years of battling to establish himself as a regular at the club despite all the potential he showed while at Maritzburg United,” the insider stated on KickOff.
He is unhappy with his lack of playing time. So, he is now in search of more regular playing time. Given Pirates recent transfer activity, his situation is unlikely to change.
They have signed high quality midfielders such as Sihle Nduli, Sipho Mbule and promising defensive midfielder Masindi Nemtajela. Meaning, he is set to fall further down the Bucs midfield pecking order.
Therefore, an exit is in the best interest of both parties.
SUITORS LINE UP FROM EUROPE TO AFRICA
Pirates have recieved enquiries from Europe (Belgium and Spain) for Kimvuidi.
“Kimvuidi has also had enquiries from Belgium club Royal Chaleroi while his name was also rubbed on Spanish second tier league club Real Racing Club de Santander,” the insider added.
Meanwhile top sides in Africa have also reached out to Pirates about Kimvuidi’s availability. TP Mazembe and Algerian club JS Kabyile have expressed interest in signing the Bucs midfielder.
However, the latter (JS Kabyile) interest has been deterred as they are not willing to pay more than R3.5 million for Kimvuidi with a R7-million price tag attached, according to the same publication.
NEW ERA, NEW-LOOK BUCS
Pirates new head coach Ouaddou will be appointing a new captain to take charge of a new-look Bucs side as the Soweto giants usher in the new era.
Pirates have signed a total of NINE new players from the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns, PSL rivals, African giants as well as Bafana Bafana.
Meanwhile, as mentioned, FIVE Bucs stars have left. Additionally, another FOUR Pirates players are heading out of Mayfair.
WHO SHOULD REPLACE KIMVUIDI AT THE BUCS? ARE THE NEW SIGNINGS GOOD ENOUGH OR SHOULD OUADDOU SIGN ANOTHER MIDFIELDER?
