Kaizer Chiefs have returned their sights on Mamelodi Sundowns defender Terrence Mashego after failing to land the 28-year-old in January.
Mashego, who amassed only four league appearances last campaign, has not travelled with the FIFA Club World Cup squad to America, insinuating that the club are hoping to offload the former Cape Town City star, who is reportedly equally as keen on an exit.
Another defender Kaizer Chiefs are hoping to lure is SuperSport United’s Neo Rapoo. The 19-year-old is looking like a hot commodity this offseason.
“Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are both keen to sign SuperSport United left-back Neo Rapoo ahead of the new season,” a source revealed.
“His performances as he led South Africa U20 to the Africa Cup of Nations title earned him interest in Scandinavia and the Gulf but sources as Matsatsansa have confirmed Chiefs and Pirates are both seriously after the player who is seen as future senior national team left-back.”
“With Orlando Pirates having released Paseka Mako and the retirement of Innocent Maela, their interest on the promising full-back comes as no surprise, while Kaizer Chiefs are looking to remedy a position that has plagued them in the last couple of seasons.”
Veteran secured
In other news, Kaizer Chiefs have rewarded veteran midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa with a two-year extension, keeping him at the club until 2028.
“The club has already taken the initiative to keep the midfielder for two more years,” a source said. “The talks are believed to have started before the end of the season. But apparently things are looking good. It will all now depend on what both parties are looking at. But the talks are open.”
Another source reaffirmed the news, saying, “Yes, he didn’t start well under coach Nasreddine Nabi. We think he didn’t understand him. But now they [Kaizer Chiefs] are happy with him and that’s why they are offering him a two-year deal.”
“If all goes well and they agree on new terms it will start from next year until June 2028.”
