Stanley Nwabali had a massive season for both club and country which increased his market value and created a long list of suitors for his services.
After helping Nigeria reach the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final where they narrowly lost to the hosts Ivory Coast, the custodian played a crucial role as Chippa reached the Nedbank Cup semi-final – but lost to Orlando Pirates, and kept a total of 12 clean sheets across all competitions.
Kaizer Chiefs have been heavily linked with a move for the custodian in their bid to strengthen the goalkeeping department.
And now, Chippa United’s goalkeeping coach Sean Louw has confirmed the 27-year-old will not be at the club next season.
