Kaizer Chiefs Eye R8 Million Profit from Sale
The single sharpest fact in one or two punchy sentences. Who did what, where, when, and why it matters. Not a summary of everything — the one thing that makes someone stop scrolling. A reader who only reads this paragraph must understand what happened.
Kaizer Chiefs are set to make an eight million Rand profit from the sale of Congolese star Glody Lilepo, who cost the club nine million Rand in 2025.
Moroccan giants AS FAR are keen to sign the 28-year-old Lilepo, who has become one of the club's most reliable operators. He bagged five goals and four assists in 27 league outings last term in a mostly wide attacking role. The sale would be somewhat of a surprise, given Lilepo's reliability at the club.
Lilepo's transfer could leave the club's reliance on Flavio Silva even more exaggerated. Will the sale of Lilepo tip the scales in Silva's favour?
Key Departures Confirmed
Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed several departures, including Happy Mashiane, George Matlou, Aden McCarthy, Gaston Sirino, and Tashreeq Morris. Mashiane and Matlou have battled injury issues, and 22-year-old Aden McCarthy has moved to Azerbaijan, while Sirino and Morris, both the 'wrong' side of 32, are deemed surplus to requirements. Goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner and defender Thabo Moloisane have arrived to start their work at the club. It's believed that the club will also turn Khanyisa Mayo's loan move into a permanent one.
Paseka Mako, the left-back, will miss the start of the new season after fracturing his arm during a pre-season friendly match in Spain. Chiefs confirm several departures Happy Mashiane, George Matlou, Aden McCarthy, Gaston Sirino and Tashreeq Morris are all no longer on the playing staff at Kaizer Chiefs.
New Arrivals at Chiefs
Goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner and defender Thabo Moloisane have joined the club. Leaner hails from Pretoria, where he rose through the junior ranks, while Moloisane has experience playing in the Premier Soccer League. Both players are expected to boost the team's defensive line.
Khanyisa Mayo, who is on loan from the club, is likely to sign permanently. This deal would see the player cement his place as a vital part of the Chiefs' team.
### Mako's Injury Left-back Paseka Mako will miss the start of the new season after fracturing his arm during a pre-season friendly match in Spain. Kaizer Chiefs will hope that Mako recovers quickly to regain his position in the team.
Kaizer Chiefs to sell Lilepo Chiefs spent €500 000 (approx. R9,3 million) to bring Glody Lilepo to Kaizer Chiefs from French third-tier side Valenciennes in January 2025. Roughly 18 months later, the club looks set to sell the 28-year-old for almost double that amount.
