Stellenbosch FC defender Ismael Toure is set to join United Arab Emirates side Baniyas SC.
AfricaSoccer.com understands that the two clubs have reached an agreement, with Toure expected to undergo a medical in the coming days.
The South African side has already negotiated with the player on personal terms, with the 27-year-old towering defender set to move.
Toure has been instrumental in Stellenbosch’s rise in recent seasons, playing a key role in their strong defensive record and helping the club secure a top-four finish in the 2024/25 campaign.
His consistent performances at the back, leadership qualities, and ability to contribute in set-piece situations have earned him praise both locally and abroad.
Toure’s success with Stellies has made him one of the most sought-after defenders in the South African top flight. He was linked with teams like Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates in the recent transfer periods.
Stellenbosch FC have already lost players such as Jayden Adams and Deano van Rooyen, amongst others, in recent times.
