Kaizer Chiefs are edging closer to the departure of Glody Makabi Lilepo, with the winger reportedly on the verge of joining Al Ahly Benghazi. The DR Congo international appears set to leave Naturena after just 18 months at the club.
Lilepo joined Amakhosi from French side Valenciennes FC in January 2025. He went on to make more than 40 appearances. He established himself as one of the club’s most influential attacking players across the last two Betway Premiership campaigns.
LATE ON KAIZER CHIEFS AND GLODY LILEPO
According to Mthokozisi Dube of FARPost, Kaizer Chiefs are now in the final stages of completing the transfer.
Dube reported: “Kaizer Chiefs are in the final stages of concluding Glody Makabi Lilepo’s transfer to Libyan giants Al Ahly Benghazi, with all parties understood to be aligned on the move.”
The report suggests there are only a few details left before the deal is completed.
“FARPost has established that the clubs are putting the final touches on the agreement, while personal terms between the DR Congo forward and Al Ahly Benghazi have already been settled,” Dube added.
SUCCESSFUL SPELL AT NATURENA
Lilepo made an immediate impact after arriving from Valenciennes FC on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
The winger scored six league goals and registered one assist in just 15 Betway Premiership appearances during the second half of the 2024/25 campaign. He finished as Kaizer Chiefs’ leading league scorer despite joining midway through the season.
The Congolese attacker remained a key figure during the 2025/26 season. He made 27 domestic appearances, scored five league goals and contributed four assists. He also earned a nomination for the Betway Premiership Goal of the Season award.
Lilepo also delivered in continental football. He scored a crucial goal against AS Simba SC to help Kaizer Chiefs secure a 3-1 aggregate victory in the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round.
If the move is completed, Kaizer Chiefs are expected to make a healthy profit. Nicknamed “Lollipop” by supporters, Lilepo leaves having played an important role in the club’s attack.
