Orlando Pirates midfielder Karim Kimvuidi is reportedly on the verge of a major transfer move, with Chippa United aggressively pursuing the 22-year-old playmaker to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
Chippa United, known for revitalizing the careers of overlooked players and nurturing raw talent, has been closely monitoring Kimvuidi’s situation at Pirates. The club is keen to bring in fresh talent for next season, and the Congolese midfielder has emerged as a key target.
Strong Relationship Between Pirates and Chippa Could Seal the Deal
Over the years, Orlando Pirates and Chippa United have maintained a strong working relationship, completing numerous player transfers. This connection is expected to play a vital role in the negotiations for Kimvuidi, making the move more likely.
A source revealed: “Chippa United is already looking ahead to next season, and one player they’ve inquired about is Karim Kimvuidi. They’re aiming to reinforce their midfield as early as possible. A player like Karim needs regular game time to prove his quality again.”
Loan or Permanent Transfer? Chippa Weighs Its Options
Chippa United is reportedly considering both a loan deal and a permanent transfer for Kimvuidi, depending on the outcome of further talks. The club is actively scouting players recommended by their technical team, with the midfielder now at the top of their list.
“At this stage, we can’t say whether it’s a loan or permanent move,” the source added. “For now, it’s just an inquiry. Once discussions begin, we’ll decide on the best approach. We also know that Karim dreams of playing abroad, so that’s something to consider as well.”
Limited Game Time at Pirates Could Push Kimvuidi Toward Chippa
Since joining Orlando Pirates from Maritzburg United on a three-year contract, Kimvuidi has struggled to find consistent playing time, featuring in only three South African top-flight matches this season. His limited appearances have left him eager for more opportunities, and a move to Chippa United could provide the ideal platform to reignite his career.
With the Chilli Boys eager to bolster their squad early, all eyes will be on whether Kimvuidi makes the move. If he does, the move could allow him to regain his form, showcase his abilities, and help Chippa United push for success in the new season.
