So far, midfielder Fabrice Ngoma has already bid farewell to Simba fans after his contract expired.
Ngoma did not wait for a formal thank-you note, as contract renewal talks between him and the club hit a dead end.
Goalkeeper Aishi Manula is the second player to leave Simba after the end of his contract.
Manula has already signed with Azam FC, with only the official unveiling by the club still pending.
Apart from these two, there is a list of other players who could also be released by Simba in the ongoing squad overhaul.
Players who had limited game time in the first team, such as defender Hussein Kazi and goalkeeper Hussein Abel, are among those likely to be released.
However, there are players who, despite not getting regular playing time, may still be valuable in the future and could be sent out on loan.
Such players include Edwin Balua, Ladark Chasambi, Omary Omary, Ali Salim, and Valentino Mashaka.
There is also a list of first-team players who might be offloaded to allow for technical upgrades, despite their regular involvement in matches.
Defender Che Malone Fondoh has reached the end of his contract, and it is unlikely to be renewed, with Simba reportedly seeking a new central defender. Midfielder Augustine Okejepha is on the transfer list, as is Ugandan forward Steven Mukwala, for whom Simba has reportedly received an offer.
Simba is also said to be in the process of signing two goalkeepers—one local and one foreign—suggesting that Moussa Camara may also be on his way out.
The full picture of Simba's transfer activities is expected to become clear next week, as the club looks to complete its squad rebuilding process before the team heads into pre-season.
