Aden McCarthy is poised to leave Kaizer Chiefs to join Azerbaijan league champions, Sabah FK. The defender enjoyed a standout season with Amakhosi, contributing to the team’s strong third-place finish, which has attracted interest from the Azerbaijani club.
Reports indicate that both teams have reached an agreement on a transfer fee, leaving McCarthy to finalize personal terms before the deal is officially confirmed. This transfer marks a notable moment for Sabah FK, as they will be without a South African player for the first time, despite having a former Chiefs player, Hendrik Ekstein, on their roster in the past.
Ekstein’s successful stint at Sabah FK has set a positive precedent, and McCarthy’s arrival follows the club’s recent league championship win and qualification for the prestigious UEFA Champions League competition.
The official announcement regarding McCarthy’s transfer is anticipated later this week.
