Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly interested in signing Orlando Pirates midfielder Kabelo Dlamini.
The 30-year-old playmaker has not played much under Abdeslam Ouaddou and is set to leave the club at the end of the month when his contract expires.
This week, Soccer Laduma reported that Chiefs were monitoring Dlamini’s situation at Pirates.
“Chiefs are interested in Kabelo Dlamini, and they have been following his situation. At the moment, it’s more about monitoring what happens because he is still a Pirates player, but the interest is there,” a source told the publication.
Could Dlamini leave Pirates for Chiefs?
The insider told Soccer Laduma that the Pirates star was willing to fight for his place in the team next season.
“Kabelo knows about the interest, and even his family is aware of it. His father is a big Chiefs supporter, so naturally, there has been discussion around it.
“But Kabelo remains committed to Pirates and respects the club. He is not forcing anything. What he wants most is to play football regularly.
“The last season was frustrating for him because of injuries and a lack of game time. He will wait for his opportunity next season, wherever that opportunity comes from.”
Earlier this season, Kaizer Chiefs signed two former Orlando Pirates stars on a free transfer. The duo (Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako) were released by the Buccaneers at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Amakhosi are yet to announce any new signings having parted ways with Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef.
