- Orlando Pirates have made an offer to sign Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, amidst interest from Belgian club, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
- Nwabali is considering his options, with Orlando Pirates reportedly offering a strong deal to secure his services and ward off European competition.
DSTV Premiership giants Orlando Pirates have made a move to bolster their goalkeeping department by tabling an offer for Chippa United's Stanley Nwabali, amidst interest from European clubs.
According to Soccer Laduma, Nwabali has been a top target for the Buccaneers, who are eager to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The 27-year-old goalkeeper has been impressive for Chippa United, earning himself a call-up to the Nigerian national team.
However, Orlando Pirates face stiff competition for Nwabali's signature, with Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise also vying for his services. The European clubs are reportedly willing to offer Nwabali a lucrative deal, which could tempt him to make the move abroad.
Despite the interest from Europe, Orlando Pirates are confident of landing Nwabali, with the club's offer reportedly being a strong one. The Buccaneers are said to be willing to offer Nwabali a long-term deal, which would see him become one of the highest-paid goalkeepers in the league.
Nwabali's agent has confirmed that his client is considering his options, but a decision is yet to be made. "Stanley is aware of the interest from Orlando Pirates and the European clubs," the agent said. "He is considering his options carefully and will make a decision soon."
If Orlando Pirates succeed in landing Nwabali, it would be a major coup for the club, who have been looking to strengthen their goalkeeping department.
