Samu was a spearhead of Buffaloes’ charge up the table in the early part of the season, and while the team’s form has trailed off, he remains an impressive performer.
The 26-year-old has reportedly spent the last nine years with Buffaloes having joined as a teenager, but is looking for a move to South Africa to take the next step in his career.
He has been at Maritzburg for close to a week and the club is set to make a decision on him soon as they look to improve their fortunes in the second half of the campaign.
Maritzburg are seeking to plug the hole left by Bongokuhle Hlongwane, who has sealed a move to Major League Soccer side Minnesota United.
They brought in Ghana forward Richard Zumah at the start of the season but he has a single goal in eight appearances in the DStv Premiership, while French forward Amadou Soukouna has two goals in 13 appearances.
