Kaizer Chiefs Closing in on Shock Move for Former Sundowns Star Kobamelo Kodisang – Deal Reportedly 70% Complete
Johannesburg, South Africa – Former Mamelodi Sundowns attacking midfielder Kobamelo Kodisang could be on his way back to South Africa in one of the most talked-about transfer stories of the season, with reports indicating that a move to Kaizer Chiefs is 70% complete.
The 25-year-old, currently on loan at AVS Futebol SAD in Portugal, has been enjoying a resurgence in form that has caught the attention of several clubs, including Chiefs, who view him as a long-term creative solution in midfield. According to sources close to the negotiations, Mamelodi Sundowns have agreed in principle to a permanent transfer, signaling the end of Kodisang’s time at Chloorkop.
A Sundowns official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the club is open to letting the player leave permanently as part of a broader restructuring plan under head coach Miguel Cardoso. “Kobamelo is a talented player, but competition in his position is fierce. The club believes it’s best for his career to seek a new challenge,” the source explained.
At Chiefs, Kodisang is seen as a potential game-changer — a technically gifted midfielder capable of operating between the lines, offering both creativity and scoring threat. The move aligns with Amakhosi’s ongoing rebuild under Khalil Ben Youssef and Vasili Manousakis, who have prioritized adding younger, dynamic talents capable of revitalizing the squad’s attacking depth.
Having represented South Africa at youth level and spent years developing in Europe, Kodisang brings valuable international experience that could help Chiefs elevate their continental ambitions, particularly as they prepare for their upcoming CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
The deal, if finalized, would mark another bold statement by Chiefs management following their recent signings aimed at restoring the club’s competitive edge in both domestic and continental competitions.
Meanwhile, Chiefs fans have been buzzing across social media, expressing excitement about the potential signing, calling it a “statement of intent.”
In related news, Kaizer Chiefs Live TV has officially launched its dedicated streaming platform, offering supporters live coverage of PSL and CAF matches, along with exclusive behind-the-scenes content, interviews, and match-day highlights.
With all eyes now on Naturena, Kodisang’s imminent return could prove to be one of the defining moves of the 2025/26 season, signaling a new era of ambition and attacking flair for Kaizer Chiefs.
