Given Nurkovic’s dip in form and his latest injury setback which will see him miss up to eight weeks of action, Chiefs may have to reconsider his future.

Nurkovic’s agent Dajan Simac confirmed that the striker’s contract is expiring in 2022, but then again Chiefs have an option to renew it.

Simac, however, said it’s too early to open talks with Chiefs on whether or not Nurkovic would remain at Naturena beyond June 2022.

“Samir is focusing on his recovery at the moment, but yes, I can confirm that his contract is up at the end of the season,” Simac told Soccer Laduma.

“Chiefs do have an option to extend it for another year, but it’s too early to have those discussions,” he added.

Nurkovic is into his third season with Chiefs, and it was during his first year at the club that he took the PSL by storm.
