Orlando Pirates star Karim Kimvuidi is determined to leave the club this January but has turned down the chance for a season-long loan move to another Premier Soccer League side.

The Congolese winger has insisted on moving overseas after struggling to break into the starting lineup at Orlando Pirates, and leaving the Buccaneers seems like the best option.

Kimvuidi is expected to find a new team where he can play regularly, which will boost his chances of returning to the Soweto Giants stronger and more seasoned for the next campaign.

Kimvuidi wants to move abroad at all cost

A source close to Soccer Laduma confirmed that the Congolese star needs a change in environment and wants to consider his options abroad rather than staying in the South African league.

"A change of environment is what he needs, even if it means going out on loan. But from what I understand, he would like to consider one of the options abroad rather than joining a PSL club on loan. However, that's unlikely to happen now in January," a source told the South African publication.

Another insider told Soccer Laduma how talented Kimvuidi is and why it's a shame he could not break into the starting lineup.

"Kimvuidi is one of those players one might say is unfortunate because despite being so talented, he finds himself in an environment where he competes with stars for a position, and it has been difficult for him to break into the team," SoccerLaduma stated.
"He is a good player who can do very well at any other club, but unfortunately, he is limited for game time where he is because of the competition."

Orlando Pirates have sent Gilberto on a season long loan to his former club and Kimvuidi could be the next to leave.
