Simba’s management has begun taking early steps to secure Libasse Gueye on a longer-term contract, with the attacking midfielder continuing to demonstrate his importance to the Wekundu wa Msimbazi squad.
Gueye has been among the standout players at the start of the 2026/27 season, playing a direct role in creating goals for Simba.
In the opening matches of the Mainland Premier League, the Senegalese star has scored one goal and provided five assists, while also scoring two goals in the CAF Champions League — figures that underline his significant contribution to Simba’s attack.
Simba Does Not Want to Wait
Inside reports indicate that Simba are not prepared to wait until Gueye’s contract enters its final stages before opening negotiations.
Gueye still has more than a year remaining on his Simba contract, but the form he has shown at the start of this season, combined with the interest he attracted during the previous transfer window, has prompted the club to address the situation early.
It is understood that Simba have begun talks to extend Gueye’s contract, with the club reportedly prepared to offer him improved financial terms in an effort to convince him to remain at Msimbazi.
The move makes even more sense considering that Gueye has been linked with several clubs in Africa and Europe during the transfer period.
They Came Calling, Simba Stood Firm
Before the start of this season, there were reports of several clubs expressing interest in signing Gueye.
Among the clubs reportedly interested in him were MC Alger, Esperance and several European clubs, particularly from Turkey.
Looking at his start to the season, Gueye has been showing on the pitch why Simba decided to keep hold of him.
He is capable of playing in different areas of the attack, while his creativity has become one of the weapons helping Simba break down opposition defences.
Five assists in the opening league matches demonstrate more than just his ability to score; they also highlight the way he contributes to creating goals for his teammates.
That is why Simba’s management appears keen to secure his future early, before his market value continues to rise.
