Kaizer Chiefs are gearing up for a transformative offseason, sparking widespread speculation with reported interest in several high-profile players. Among the unexpected links are three Orlando Pirates stars: Monnapule Saleng, Paseka Mako, and Thabiso Monyane.
Notably, Mako, whose contract with the Buccaneers is nearing its end, is rumored to be in advanced discussions to join Chiefs, according to SABC Sport. Meanwhile, Monyane, another player set to depart the Pirates, has also caught the attention of the Glamour Boys.
In a surprising twist, SoccerLaduma claims Saleng may have already signed a pre-contract with the club, though this remains unverified. In another development, the pursuit of Pyramids FC striker Fiston Mayele appears increasingly challenging for Chiefs.
The Congolese forward’s standout performances in the CAF Champions League have drawn significant interest. Egyptian outlet Al-Masry Al-Youm reported that Mayele has received offers exceeding $3 million (R55 million) annually, far surpassing his current earnings at Pyramids.
Though the Egyptian club aimed to retain him, Mayele is reportedly determined to leave after the Egypt Cup final against Zamalek. His potential departure has intensified competition for his signature, complicating Chiefs' efforts to secure his services.
The outlet emphasized, “Pyramids Club acknowledges his contributions as a key figure in their Champions League success but faces his firm decision to move on.” As the transfer saga unfolds, fans are left weighing which signings could most benefit the team. The potential additions of experienced Pirates players and the high-stakes chase for Mayele highlight Chiefs’ ambition to rebuild strategically.
Amidst the speculation, supporters are encouraged to share their views on which targets would best strengthen the squad. The club’s activity underscores their determination to reassert dominance in South African football, though rival interest and financial hurdles could shape the outcome of these negotiations.
As the offseason progresses, all eyes remain on Chiefs’ next moves
