Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Mduduzi Mdantsane is expected to lead the list of departures from Naturena at the end of the season, while the club is reportedly keeping a close eye on Monnapule Saleng’s situation at Orlando Pirates.
Mdantsane, currently on loan at Richards Bay FC, made the switch during the recent transfer window after struggling for regular game time since joining Chiefs from Cape Town City in June 2023.
The 30-year-old midfielder, who arrived at Amakhosi for a reported R3 million fee, has only one year left on his contract, although the club holds an option to extend.
The former Baroka FC star has already made two appearances for the Natal Rich Boyz, but indications are that he will not return to Naturena when his loan spell ends.
According to sources close to Chiefs, Bongani Sam and Tebogo Potsane are also set to exit the club as part of a squad overhaul at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Chiefs are reportedly monitoring the contract situation of Saleng, who has been at the center of speculation regarding his future at Pirates.
The 25-year-old winger, who was a key player in the Buccaneers’ attack last season, has seen reduced game time under coach Jose Riveiro, leading to uncertainty over his long-term stay at the club.
“The team is already working behind the scenes in terms of preparing the squad for next season. The club and the coach will sit down at the end of the season to finalize the list of players to be signed,” a source close to Chiefs revealed.
However, when asked about the potential signing of Saleng, the source remained cautious.
"I cannot discuss the issue of Saleng joining Kaizer Chiefs. It’s sensitive.”
If Saleng does make the move to Amakhosi, he would join a select group of players who have switched directly between the two Soweto giants, including Jimmy Tau and Lehlohonolo Majoro.
Recent reports have suggested that Saleng has already signed a pre-contract with an unnamed PSL club, adding further intrigue to his future.
Whether Chiefs are the mystery club in question remains to be seen, but the situation is expected to develop further in the coming weeks
