SABC Sport reports that Pirates have given the left-back the greenlight to discuss personal terms with Amakhosi.
SABC Sport can reveal the two parties have reached an unprecedented agreement that would see a player move between the two Soweto giants should he pass a medical and have the finer details ironed out.
If all goes well, as expected, Sam would then be part of The Glamour Boys pre-season training camp in Turkey from Friday, reported the public broadcaster on Wednesday.
Sam, who spent last season on loan at Moroka Swallows, is seen as a direct replacement for Sifiso Hlanti who was released by Chiefs last weekend.
Hlanti was released alongside Keagan Dolly, Siyethemba Sithebe and Njabulo Ngcobo, while the club decided against renewing Jasond Gonzalezs loan deal. .
