Kassim Shaibu: Mtibwa Sugar’s Tanzanian striker linked with TRA United switch

Tanzanian striker Kassim Shaibu of Mtibwa Sugar is being linked with a move to domestic rivals TRA United, with discussions over a potential deal understood to be at an early stage.

TRA United are exploring options to strengthen their attack ahead of the new campaign and have identified the Mtibwa Sugar forward as a candidate to lead their front line. The prospective transfer would represent an intra-Tanzania move, with both clubs operating within the same national set-up.

Shaibu, who is listed primarily as an out-and-out striker and operates in the attacking positions, is currently on the books of Mtibwa Sugar, where he has been part of the first-team squad in the Tanzanian game. His role at the club centres on providing a focal point in attack, and it is this profile that has attracted interest from TRA United as they look to reshape their squad.

Specific financial details, including any prospective fee or valuation, have not been made public, and there is no indication yet of whether negotiations have advanced to a formal bid. The timing of the links suggests TRA United are assessing their options before committing to a final shortlist of targets.

Shaibu’s current deal at Mtibwa Sugar has not been disclosed, leaving open the structure any agreement might take if the two clubs move forward. For now, he remains an Mtibwa Sugar player, with TRA United monitoring the situation as they consider a move for the Tanzanian attacker.
