Kaizer Chiefs Eye Former Mamelodi Sundowns Midfielder in Late Bid to Bolster Squad

 Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be preparing a strategic late bid to secure the services of a former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder as they intensify efforts to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season. With the club aiming to return to top-tier competitiveness, the move is viewed as a targeted attempt to inject experience and quality into the midfield department.

Although the identity of the player has not been officially confirmed, sources close to the negotiations indicate that the former Sundowns star is currently a free agent or in the final stages of his contract with his current club, making him a viable and cost-effective option for Amakhosi. The midfielder is known for his tactical intelligence, strong ball distribution, and ability to dictate tempo in high-pressure matches—traits that align well with the profile Chiefs are seeking.

This potential acquisition comes as Kaizer Chiefs undergo a broader rebuilding phase, with the technical team focusing on creating a balanced squad capable of competing on all fronts. The club has already identified midfield reinforcements as a key priority, following an inconsistent season marked by injuries and inconsistency in the engine room.

The player in question boasts CAF Champions League experience and a strong track record in the DStv Premiership, making him a valuable asset for a team seeking to re-establish itself as a title contender. Chiefs are reportedly moving swiftly to finalize terms before the transfer window closes, with backroom discussions already in progress.

If successful, the deal could signal a shift in Kaizer Chiefs’ recruitment strategy—one that blends youth development with seasoned professionals who can make an immediate impact. The club’s management is expected to provide updates once formal agreements are reached.

With pre-season preparations set to begin soon, Kaizer Chiefs’ pursuit of this experienced midfielder underscores their intent to build a squad that can restore glory and meet the expectations of their vast supporter base in the upcoming campaign.
