Kaizer Chiefs are on the verge of concluding a deal to terminate Thabo Cele‘s contract which was set to runfor the next two seasons.
Newly-appointed Fernando da Cruz has already made it public that Cele is not in his plans for the upcoming campaign.
Cele came in highly-rated after he was signed on a free transfer following his stint in Europe, and he fitted like a hand in a glove.
However, last season proved to be somewhat difficult for the midfield anchor as he was used sparingly by the previous co-coaches.
Now, there is a new development…
KAIZER CHIEFS MIDFIELDER THABO CELE TRAINS ON HIS OWN
The latest is that Cele is not part of Da Cruz’s training sessions, and he’s actually training on his own as both parties continue to try and find each other.
However, it is clear that Cele, one way or the other, will leave Amakhosi either by mutual consent or being sold.
There are already several PSL clubs interested in the 29-year-old midfielder, including AmaZulu FC.
With Cele set to leave, Chiefs have since secured the services of Tanzanian midfielder Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko.
Amakhosi fans got to see Mtasingwa in action as the Soweto giants played their final pre-season match against Scottland FC in the Toyota Cup.
THABO CELE’S STATS AT AMAKHOSI
Cele was limited to just 17 appearances, including 15 league matches without finding the back of the net.
He will leave Chiefs having featured 36 times since his arrival in January 2025. Cele has no goal or assist in the Amakhosi colours.
