Kaizer Chiefs are expected to offload several players during the January transfer window, with some leaving on loan and others permanently. Here's a breakdown of the players likely to depart from Naturena.
Head coach Nasreddine Nabi has settled on Inacio Miguel and Rushwin Dortley as his preferred center-back duo, leaving other defenders struggling for game time. Zitha Kwinika is among those expected to leave. Additionally, the club faces a challenge with the PSL’s foreign player quota, which allows only five foreign players per team in the Betway Premiership. With Edmilson Dove (Mozambique) set to return, one of the current foreign players will need to be released.One likely departure is Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, who has dropped behind Miguel, Dortley, and Given Msimango in the pecking order. Ditlhokwe needs consistent game time to maintain his spot in the Botswana national team, but his limited opportunities at Chiefs make his exit likely. Msimango, meanwhile, appears set to remain as part of the defensive core, leaving both Kwinika and Ditlhokwe facing uncertain futures.
Midfielder George Matlou is also expected to leave. Reports suggest he is not part of Nabi’s plans and could be offloaded as early as January. In attack, Christian Saile, another foreign player, is likely to be shown the door. While he survived the last transfer window due to Chiefs failing to secure another forward, Nabi and the club’s management are now prioritizing reinforcements in the attacking department. As a result, Saile's departure appears imminent. Kaizer Chiefs’ January transfer activity will not only involve offloading players but also making key signings to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
