A shockwave just hit Naturena! Word on the street is that Nasreddine Nabi, who might be the next Kaizer Chiefs coach, has given the club a serious demand. He wants them to sign key players like Feisal Salum, Fiston Mayele, and Michael Olunga. If they don’t, he might quit before even starting!
Is this a power move, or does Nabi really need these players for his plan? The pressure is on for Kaizer Chiefs, and they reportedly have about R80 million to spend. Will they give Nabi what he wants and change the team, or will they lose out on a coach everyone wants?
Nabi’s Bold Vision: The Players He Demands
So, what’s the deal with Nabi making demands before he’s even hired? It’s not super common, but it shows he knows what he wants. It also shows he’s not afraid to push for it.
Feisal Salum: The Midfield Maestro
Feisal Salum is a midfielder who plays for Young Africans. He’s known for his great passing and controlling the game. Think of him as the engine in the middle of the field. He helps keep the ball moving and finds teammates with smart passes. No specific stats are available, but those who’ve watched him know his worth.
Nabi might want him because he can bring stability and creativity to the Kaizer Chiefs midfield. Salum could be the guy who links the defense to the attack.
Fiston Mayele: The Goal-Scoring Machine
Fiston Mayele is a striker, also playing for Young Africans. He’s all about scoring goals. Mayele is quick, strong, and knows where to be at the right time. He is a handful for defenders! He has scored a lot of goals, he’s always a threat near the goal.
Kaizer Chiefs have had trouble scoring. Mayele could be the answer, someone who can put the ball in the net consistently.
Michael Olunga: The Proven Striker
Michael Olunga currently plays for Al-Duhail in Qatar. He’s a striker with a proven track record of scoring goals. Olunga has played for different teams around the world and scored goals everywhere. He’s also played a lot for his national team, Kenya.
His wages might be high, which could be a problem for Kaizer Chiefs. Still, he’s a great player, and Nabi might think he’s worth the money.
The R80 Million Budget: Can Chiefs Deliver?
Can Kaizer Chiefs actually afford to sign all these guys with R80 million? It’s a lot of money, but transfer fees and wages can add up fast.
Breaking Down the Costs: Transfer Fees and Wages
How much will each player cost? It’s tough to say for sure, but we can guess. Salum might cost around R15-20 million, Mayele around R20-25 million, and Olunga could be R30-40 million because he’s a bigger name. Wages could also be high, especially for Olunga.
Exploring Alternative Options: Plan B Players
If Kaizer Chiefs can’t get all three, who else could they target? Maybe they could look at local players who are cheaper but still good. There might be some hidden gems in the PSL.
The Risks and Rewards for Kaizer Chiefs
What happens if Kaizer Chiefs sign these players? What if they don’t? There are risks and rewards either way.

Power Dynamics: Coach vs. Management
Giving a coach this much power could be risky. What if Nabi doesn’t work out? It could also cause problems later if Nabi and the management disagree on something. It’s a delicate balancing act.
