Ibrahim Bancé targeted by Chippa United, Sekhukhune and Simba SC

Ibrahim Bancé is on the market and things are heating up. Now a free agent after his stint at Marumo Gallants, the Burkina Faso midfielder is attracting plenty of attention. According to Africa Top Sports, three clubs are already in the race for the 2026/2027 season.

Chippa United goes on the offensive

The Chilli Boys from Chippa United have been tracking Bancé for several years and have now decided to step up their pursuit. The club is said to have made an official offer to bolster their midfield. But the competition is fierce. Sekhukhune United are also interested in the Burkinabè and are closely monitoring his situation. A South African derby could be on the cards to secure his signature.

Simba SC enters the fray

The interest doesn't stop in South Africa, according to the same source. In Tanzania, Simba SC have opened talks with the player's representatives over a potential transfer. Negotiations are underway, but no decision has been reached yet. For now, Ibrahim Bancé has yet to choose his next destination.

A profile that stands out

Last season, Bancé played 12 matches in the Betway Premiership with Marumo Gallants—enough to keep him firmly on the radar. A Burkina Faso international since 2019, he was recalled for the Stallions last March against Guinea-Bissau. Before his South African adventure, he played for ASEC Mimosas in Ivory Coast and Helsingborg in Sweden, building an impressive resume as an experienced box-to-box midfielder.
