Six Kaizer Chiefs players will be out of contract in June and many of them are likely not to renew.
In July, the Soweto giants recruited Nasreddine Nabi as their new head coach and the Tunisian has brought noticeable changes to the club. Under his leadership, Amakhosi have won four of their first seven league matches and are currently sixth in the Betway Premiership.
Kaizer Chiefs have six players out of contract end of the season
With the January transfer window opening in four weeks, Kaizer Chiefs are more likely to bring in new players. That will ultimately mean that those who are out of contract soon might either be sold or allowed to leave for free.
We look at six Kaizer Chiefs players whose contracts expires next year in June.
Yusuf Maart
The 29-year-old has not been in the best of form this season but in the last two matches, he has shown improvement. Nabi has backed his vice-captain to improve this season which could earn him a contract extension.
Amakhosi to bring in new players in January
Edmilson Dove
The Mozambican utility player is currently out injured and might have to fight for his place back into the team. it remains unlikely that Kaizer Chiefs would extend Dove’s contract given the fact that he is yet to feature this season.
Edson Castillo
The 30-year-old suffered an injury that kept him out for months. Before his injury, he showed flashes of brilliance and might have a chance to fight for his place in the team when he recovers. Nabi has shown faith in him and it won’t be a surprise if Kaizer Chiefs offer him a new contract
Ranga Chivaviro
The 31-year-old striker is one of Nabi’s favourites. Having banged three goals already this season, it won’t be a surprise to see Ranga extend his Chiefs stay by a year or two. In the past two matches, however, he has lost his place to in-form Ashley du Preez.
George Matlou
Matlou has not featured this season due to an injury. He will likely leave in January as Nabi doesn’t seem to have plans for him.
Reeve Frosler
The right-back has been a regular under Nabi and he will likely negotiate a new contract with Kaizer Chiefs in the coming months.
