Azam ready to cash in on Feisal Salum

Tanzanian club Azam FC have said they are ready to cash in on Taifa Stars midfielder Feisal Salum, who has been linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs. Salum is contracted to the Dar es Salaam-based club until June 2026.

He joined the Chamazi Millionaires from rivals Young Africans in 2023 on a three-year deal. He previously worked with Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi, who is known to be a big fan of the player.

Reports suggest that the former Yanga SC coach, Nabi, is keen on reuniting with the playmaker in the Betway Premiership at Amakhosi.

‘Fei Toto’, as he is affectionately known, has been a key figure in the club’s midfield with 12 assists and four goals in Tanzania Premier League this season.

AZAM FC OPEN TO FEISAL SALUM’S POTENTIAL DEPARTURE

Speaking to FARPost, Azam FC spokesperson Thabit Zacharia addressed the growing speculation surrounding Feisal’s potential move to South Africa.

“We expect Feisal to deliver results because we are paying him a lot of money. However, if he decides to leave, that will be his choice. We are not stopping him from leaving,” Zacharia told FARPost.

Despite this openness to a potential departure, Azam FC clarified that they have no immediate plans to release the player.

“We have no plans to let Feisal go. But if a team makes an offer that meets our expectations, we will not stand in his way. However, as of now, we have not received any offers from any club.”

Amakhosi are not the only club eager to land the services of the 27-year-old star. Tanzanian giants Simba SC are known to be after the player’s signature.

However, Zacharia insists there has been no formal talks with any club regarding the Zanzibar-born ace.

Salum is part of the Tanzania national team side that plays Morocco on Tuesday in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
