The Navua Football Association is actively pursuing the transfer of Sairusi Nalaubu, a key striker for the national team, for the upcoming 2025 domestic season. Currently with Lautoka, Nalaubu has attracted attention from several clubs, including Suva and Rewa, but reports indicate that Navua has put forth a more appealing offer that could sway his decision.

Lautoka’s President, Shalendra Prasad, confirmed that Navua has reached out to begin discussions regarding the potential transfer. He emphasized that under Fiji FA regulations, any district wishing to negotiate must first obtain the necessary approval from Lautoka. So far, while initial contact has been made through email, a formal application for transfer has yet to be submitted.

Prasad also highlighted the financial complexities surrounding the transfer, noting that any potential deal would require a substantial fee given Nalaubu’s existing debts to Lautoka, which stem from previous loans and a breach of contract. “No formal application has been made, and whichever district wants to sign him will have to pay a huge amount to Lautoka FA,” he stated. Nalaubu will need to resolve these financial obligations before any transfer discussions can proceed.

Despite these challenges, Prasad expressed that Lautoka would not stand in the way of players seeking new opportunities, provided the proper processes are followed. The ongoing negotiations for Nalaubu’s transfer reflect the competitive spirit of Fijian football as clubs prepare for the upcoming season and seek to strengthen their squads.

This transfer scenario not only adds intrigue to the football landscape in Fiji, but it also opens up opportunities for clubs to enhance their rosters. As the transfer window remains active, fans can look forward to an exciting and competitive season ahead, with clubs like Navua determined to make significant moves in pursuit of success.
