BREAKING: DEFENDER BID MADE

Tue Jul 07, 2026 11:35 am

Updated:


While the reported bid signals Cardiff’s interest, there has been no confirmation that FK Sarajevo have accepted the offer or that personal terms have been agreed with the Zimbabwe international.




Vincent Tan was owner off Bosnian football club FK Sarajevo







The Bluebirds have apparently tabled a £750k bid for Sarajevo centre back, Shane Maroodza; a British born Zimbabwran international with a British passport, which would negate the need for ‘international clearance’.

Standing at 6ft 2in tall and naturally left-footed, Maroodza possesses the physical profile well suited to the demands of the Championship. His aerial ability offers an asset at both ends of the pitch, particularly from set-pieces, while his imposing presence should translate effectively to the league’s physical style.

In July 2025, Maroodza joined Irish side Kerry, making one league appearance. However, he was released by the club shortly after joining after being caught shoplifting at a local supermarket.

He will fit in well :-)

Couldn’t get a game for Huddersfield in 4 years or at Barnet. Hope this report isn’t true.

I think 'uninspiring' would be a kind way to put it.

I 100% do not bet for one minute we are offering money like this.

While the reported bid signals Cardiff’s interest, there has been no confirmation that FK Sarajevo have accepted the offer or that personal terms have been agreed with the Zimbabwe international.

It's nonsense that the club will buy any old player; those days are well gone.

If we sign a player, it's because BBM wants them; Tan, the board and BBM are together and in unison.
