Kaizer Chiefs are embarking on a significant squad overhaul as they look to rebuild and challenge for honours in the upcoming season. Several key players are facing the axe as the club aims to rejuvenate its squad and create space for new signings.
Kaizer Chiefs are set to undergo a squad overhaul ahead of the 2024/2025 season, with six players facing the axe.
1. Ashley du Preez:
Despite contributing to the team last season, Du Preez’s future at Chiefs is uncertain. With several clubs interested in his services, the club might be tempted to cash in on the 27-year-old attacker.
2. Mduduzi Mdantsane:
Plagued by injuries, Mdantsane’s career at Chiefs has been interrupted. The club is likely to explore loan options or a permanent departure for the talented midfielder to revive his career.
3. Itumeleng Khune:
The legendary goalkeeper’s long and illustrious career at Chiefs is nearing its end. With the emergence of younger goalkeepers, Khune’s game time has reduced significantly.
The club is expected to bid farewell to the 37-year-old shot-stopper who has served the club with distinction.
4. Zitha Kwinika:
The experienced defender has fallen down the pecking order at Chiefs. With the emergence of younger options, Kwinika’s high salary could make him a surplus to requirements.
5. Ranga Chivaviro:
The former Marumo Gallants striker has struggled to find his scoring boots since joining Chiefs. Injuries and lack of form have hampered his progress, leading to speculation about his future at the club.
6. Sabelo Radebe:
Limited game time has hindered Radebe’s development at Chiefs. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder is expected to be loaned out to gain valuable experience.
