Orlando Pirates midfielder is set to jump ship in major transfer move.
Chippa United is aggressively pursuing reinforcements for the upcoming season, identifying Pirates benchwarmer Karim Kimvuidi as a key target. The Chilli Boys have closely monitored the Congolese playmaker.
Chippa has always revived the careers of forgotten players or identified raw talent and developed them into full-fledged professionals.
Pirates relationship could seal the deal
Chippa United and Orlando Pirates share a solid working relationship, having conducted numerous transfers over the years. This connection could play a crucial role in facilitating negotiations for the 22-year-old midfielder.
“Chippa are already preparing for next season, and one of the players they have inquired about is Karim Kimvuidi from Orlando Pirates. They want to reinforce the midfield as early as possible. A player like Karim needs minutes again to show his quality once more. ” a source revealed.
Loan or permanent move? Chippa weighs options
Chippa United remains open to both a loan deal and a permanent transfer. Depend on the outcome of negotiations. The club is actively scouting players recommended by its technical team, with Kimvuidi emerging as a key target.
“For now, we can’t say whether it’s a loan or a permanent move. At this stage, it’s just interest and an inquiry from Chippa United. Once talks officially begin, they will decide on the best approach. But we also know that Karim wants to go overseas, it is one of his dreams, to play football abroad,” the source added.
Limited game time could influence Kimvuidi’s future
Kimvuidi committed to a three-year contract with Orlando Pirates after departing Maritzburg United. Despite his potential, he has struggled to earn regular minutes on the pitch, featuring in only three South African top-flight matches this season. His limited opportunities have left him eager for more game time, and Chippa United could offer the perfect platform for a fresh start. A move to the Chilli Boys would allow him to regain form, showcase his talent, and contribute significantly to the team’s ambitions for the upcoming season.
