Top Fijian striker Sairusi Nalaubu is on the verge of joining Navua in the preseason player transfer window from Lautoka. Lautoka’s President, Shalendra Prasad, confirmed that they received a transfer application from Navua yesterday and expressed readiness to release Nalaubu, contingent upon him meeting all his contractual obligations with the club.

Nalaubu is known for his goal-scoring prowess, with multiple Golden Boot awards under his belt, and his potential move could mark a significant addition to Navua’s roster. The ongoing discussions reflect broader trends in Fijian football as clubs prepare for the upcoming 2025 season, strategically looking to enhance their squads.

Prasad also shared that discussions are underway regarding potential signings for Lautoka, with an official announcement expected early next week. Despite the complexities surrounding Nalaubu’s transfer, including his outstanding debts to Lautoka from previous loans and contractual breaches, Prasad remains optimistic that Lautoka will not impede any player’s ambition to switch clubs if the proper procedures are followed.

This transfer scenario not only illustrates Navua’s aspirations but also signifies an exciting dynamic in Fijian football as clubs actively seek to improve their squad depth, promising an engaging 2025 season filled with competitive matches. Fans eagerly anticipate how these developments will unfold, reflecting the sport’s growing competitive spirit in the region.
