It is possible that Ranga Chivaviro, a striker for Kaizer Chiefs, would leave the club prior to the beginning of the 2025/2026 Betway Premiership season. It has been reported that Amakhosi are now analyzing their roster, and it is anticipated that there will be changes made in the offensive area.

A Situation Regarding Chivaviro's Contract

It has been reported by Soccer Laduma that Chivaviro's current deal would expire on June 30, 2025. Although the club has the ability to extend the contract for an additional year, they have not yet exercised that option. Since joining the club, the 32-year-old forward has struggled to make a meaningful impact, and this delay suggests that he may be leaving the club in the near future.

The Role That Glody Lilepo Plays Under Coach Nabi

During this time, Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi addressed the numerous rumors that circulated over Glody Lilepo's position. Despite the fact that there were some suggestions that the winger could be transformed into a striker, Nabi rejected the idea and insisted that Lilepo is more suited to playing the position of a winger. "He plays the winger position, either on the right or the left. According to Nabi, who was quoted by iDiski Times, "He played second striker for Valenciennes in France, but that is not his natural position." It was stressed by him that although Lilepo have the capability to attack, the Chiefs require a striker who is a specialist in order to improve their goal-scoring form.

An Innovative Transfer Strategy: Taking a Look Abroad

In addition, Nabi disclosed that Kaizer Chiefs will prioritize the acquisition of players from a variety of countries outside of South Africa, as the local clubs have been hesitant to sell to them. Taking this new approach is seen in the club's recent acquisition of Thabo Cele from FC Fakel Voronezh, which is located in Russia. "We need a new strategy because it is difficult to sign players from other South African clubs," the chairman said. If the situation calls for it, we will go outdoors," Nabi added. Considering the uncertainty surrounding Chivaviro's future and the anticipation of new additions, Chiefs fans may anticipate an active transfer window in the near future.
