Simba SC linked with move for Nigerian free agent midfielder Ibraheem Jabaar

Nigerian central midfielder Ibraheem Jabaar, currently a free agent after leaving South African side Stellenbosch FC, is being linked with a move to Tanzanian giants Simba SC according to the latest transfer market data.

The 23-year-old, a left-footed central midfielder valued at around €500,000 (£500k) on Transfermarkt, is listed as “Without Club” following the expiry of his deal at the Betway Premiership outfit. Despite his unattached status, the rumour section on the portal connects him with a potential switch from Stellenbosch to Simba, although the probability of the move is marked only as “?” and no agreement has been recorded.

Jabaar, born on 24 October 2002 and standing at 1.68m, is registered solely with Nigerian nationality and is categorised primarily as a central midfielder. The data indicates that he is not currently tied to any national team set-up and has no active club contract, underlining that any transfer to Simba would be on a free-agent basis rather than a traditional transfer between clubs.

Transfermarkt lists his market value at €500,000, which would represent a relatively low-risk acquisition for Simba compared with many cross-border deals in the region. The move, if completed, would see Jabaar swap the South African top flight for East Africa, adding another league to his professional career path after his most recent spell in the DStv Premiership.

The rumour entry, last updated on 3 July 2026 at 13:54, does not specify contract length, salary terms or any competition from other suitors, and there is no reported fee involved due to his free-agent status. With his future unresolved and his valuation still holding steady, a switch to Simba could provide a significant next step in his career trajectory if the interest develops into a formal offer.
