Kaizer Chiefs transfer news: Mbule, Salum, Mako, Saleng
After another tough season, Kaizer Chiefs will look to rebuild and sign more players under Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi. The team finished ninth in the Betway Premiership but managed to win the Nedbank Cup which was their first silverware in a decade. The club has been linked with a number of players including Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sipho Mbule. The 27-year-old is a free agent after his contract was not extended by Masandawana. Mbule joined The Brazilians in 2022 from SuperSport United but failed to make his impact in the three years at the club. This past season, he was sent on loan to Sekhukhune United but disciplinary issues clouded his time at Babina Noko, leading to his contract being terminated prematurely. Mbule's agent Mika Makaab confirmed that the star was offered to Kaizer Chiefs 'Let me set the record straight. Sipho Mbule has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs. It is up to the club to make the decision, and we need to respect that decision,' he said. With Nabi looking to bolster his squad, the Tunisian coach has reportedly travelled to Egypt and Tanzania to look for quality players. One player that has been on his radar is Azam FC superstar Feisal Salum. The 27-year-old creative midfielder impressed for his country Tanzania when they played against Bafana Bafana last year. Another local player linked with Kaizer Chiefs is Paseko Mako. The defender was recently released by Orlando Pirates. The 27-year-old spent seven years with the Buccaneers earning over 100 appearances. Another Pirates star set to leave is Monnapule Saleng.
