Regular starters Reeve Frosler and Keletso Du Preez have caught the attention of Romanian giants FCSB and are reportedly integral to their mission. They are ready to make a lucrative offer to draw them away from their current contracts. The prospect of playing in Europe and a substantial payday could prove irresistible for the duo.

Potential Departures Continued

The Chiefs’ management is currently in talks to release veteran midfielder Cole Alexander from the club. Meanwhile, fan-favorite defender Siyabonga Radebe may be loaned out, as he doesn’t appear to be part of the team’s plans for the upcoming season. Forward Sabelo Mahlatsi has requested to be transfer-listed, and Burundian midfielder Bienvenu Bimenyimana’s future with the club remains uncertain, as he has yet to impress the Amakhosi’s management.

Infusing New Talent

As the roster endures this significant shake-up, the Kaizer Chiefs are also looking to infuse new talent into their ranks. The management has invited six players to trial for the first team, including a promising attacking prodigy recently spotted at Naturena.
