Kaizer Chiefs have released five players. Five more look set to face the same fate.
Kaizer Chiefs squad continues to rapildy change with a plethora of changes having already taken place.
Amakhosi have released five players. Meanwhile, the Soweto giants have signed THREE new Chiefs players. However, this is just the beginning of the player movements at Naturena. So, another FOUR Chiefs players face probably departures.
FIVE CHIEFS PLAYERS FACING LIKELY EXITS
Fiacre Ntwari, Bongani Sam, George Matlou, Edson Castillo and Tebogo Potsane are all facing likely departures out of Natuena.
Ntwari is set to be loaned out by Chiefs, according to KickOff.
Meanwhile, Sam is set to part ways with Amakhosi having not played a single game.
“Bongani Sam has parted ways with Kaizer Chiefs, concluding a surprising tenure without making a single competitive appearance for the club. He becomes the sixth player to part company with the club in this transfer window,” the insider reported on FarPost.
Finally, these THREE Chiefs midfielders are all heading out of Naturena.
Matlou, Potsane and Castillo are all in the same boat. They all sit behind the likes of Yusuf Maart, Gaston Sirino, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Mduduzi Shabalala, Samkelo Zwane and Mfundo Vilakazi in the Chiefs midfield pecking order.
Meaning, they will struggle for game time if they stay at Naturena. Therefore, it is in their best interest to find a club where they can play more frequently.
Matlou has been linked with a departure for several transfer windows. So, this is the most likey time for Chiefs to release him. Whilst, Potsane is not a part of Nabi’s future plans. Finally, Nabi is considering letting Castillo go.
“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.
MORE PLAYER MOVEMENTS ON THE HORIZON AT NATURENA
Chiefs have a whole team worth of new players – these 11 new players have reportedly joined the first team. This includes TWO European-based signings, FIVE promotions and FOUR players from PSL rivals.
Meanwhile, they are expected to sign these players from Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana.
In contrast, as mentioned, FIVE Amakhosi player departures have been confirmed. Whilst, a total of FOUR more Chiefs players are heading out of Naturena.
