Kaizer Chiefs are set to make more changes to their squad this transfer window.
Kaizer Chiefs have completed 18 new deals so far.
So, Amakhosi have signed SIX new players and promoted four DDC youngsters to the first team. Meanwhile, EIGHT players have been released by Chiefs. So, who is next?
CHIEFS TRIO FACING LIKELY DEPARTURES
Fiacre Ntwari and Edson Castillo face likely departures out of Naturena.
As reported on The South African, Ntwari is not in Nabi’s plans for the up-and-coming 2025/26 season.
Meaning, he is likely to be released. Moreover, Castillo’s departure is being finalised with an announcement expected soon.
“It’s been said head coach Nasreddine Nabi could be open to his [Castillo’s] potential exit, allowing the club to be more flexible in the market as they look to lure new foreign recruits to bolster the squad for the upcoming season,” the report read on iDiskiTimes.
AMAKHOSI CLOSING IN ON TWO SIGNINGS, STRIKER SEARCH CONTINUES
Chiefs have identified the need to sign an attacker – or two.
They have been liked with the likes of Percy Tau, Fiston Mayele and Zakhele Lepasa (who has left Orlando Pirates) up front. However, they will not be signing these players.
However, Dzenan Zajmovic is being considered and their is still interest in Etiosa Ighodaro.
Outbound Sundowns striker, Ighodaro is currently training alone. As things stand, Chiefs are still interested but the striker is contemplating his options. Hence, the need to train alone, to reflect and make this career-changing decision.
Meanwhile, Nasreddine Nabi has expressed interest in signing Zajmovic.
“I don’t want to comment on the striker from Galaxy. I’m not sure if he’s part of the club’s plans or if his administrative issues have been resolved. But if the opportunity arises to recruit him – especially if he has residency – then yes,” he stated on IOL.
Furthermore, they are close to securing a winger and midfielder from PSL rivals. Winger, Asenele Velebayi and midfielder, Luke Maartman have both agreed personel terms with Chiefs.
Therefore, they will both join Amakhosi if the legal dispute is resolved.
