Orlando Pirates have been advised to consider signing a starlet from Kaizer Chiefs as a potential replacement for Relebohile Mofokeng. This suggestion raises the possibility of the 'next Mofokeng' emerging from their rivals, Kaizer Chiefs.

South African midfielder Thabo Cele has become a transfer target for Mamelodi Sundowns following his exit from Kaizer Chiefs, according to SABC Sport. Cele mutually terminated his contract with Chiefs on Monday night, making him available on the free-agent market. The report indicates Sundowns are keen to add the Bafana Bafana player to their squad as they strengthen for the new season. Details of any agreement or further clubs interested in Cele were not disclosed in the report.

Kaizer Chiefs have announced the release of three players and are considering further changes to their squad, with Gaston Sirino and Ashley Du Preex potentially being let go. Additionally, a new signing, Leaner, is expected to join the team soon.

Kaizer Chiefs have seen 10 players leave the club during the current transfer window, according to The South African. Thabo Cele became the tenth departure from the Soweto-based side, with the publication listing the other nine players who exited Naturena during the same period. The report highlights a significant squad clearout at the Premier Soccer League club as it reshapes its roster.

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly preparing to sign Renaldo Leaner, a former goalkeeper for Sekhukhune United, who is currently a free agent after departing from Babina Noko.
