Simba SC has officially launched efforts to ensure the continued solidity of their defense next season by entering contract extension talks with their star goalkeeper, Moussa Camara.
Camara, who joined the Msimbazi Reds last season on a two-year deal, has one year remaining on his initial contract. However, due to his outstanding performance, Simba is looking to extend his stay by an additional two years, which would keep him at the club until at least 2028.
Since his arrival, Camara has been a true fortress in goal for Simba. In the 2024/25 season, the Guinean goalkeeper has played a crucial role in leading Simba to the CAF Confederation Cup final and contributing to their success in the NBC Premier League.
The clearest measure of his excellence lies in the numbers: 17 clean sheets so far this season — a stat that makes him a frontrunner for the Premier League’s Best Goalkeeper award.
Due to his stellar form, Camara has attracted interest from several top clubs both within and outside of Africa. This growing attention has prompted Simba to act swiftly to ensure the star goalkeeper doesn’t leave easily.
According to reports from within the club, Simba plans to improve his contract by significantly increasing his salary. This is both a strategy to fend off outside offers and a financial positioning move should a future transfer occur.
For Simba SC, securing Camara on a long-term deal is an investment in maintaining the team’s psychological stability. A reliable goalkeeper brings calm to the defense and allows midfielders and attackers greater freedom to express themselves.
As the transfer window approaches, Simba’s move to lock down Camara signals the club’s serious preparations for more competitive seasons both domestically and internationally.
