PSL transfer news: Tau, Moremi, Mthethwa, Mosimane, Nzengeli
From players to coaches, the PSL is expected to welcome a myriad of personnel as clubs prepare for next season.
Several star players are poised to arrive in South Africa, which is often the formula needed for a competitive season as the rest of the league tries to dethrone Mamelodi Sundowns, who have won the league title for a record eight consecutive years. Percy Tau has publicly confirmed that he is willing to take a substantial pay cut to join Kaizer Chiefs. However, the club is reluctant to sign more veteran players.

The PSL needs players like Mthethwa, and it appears Kaizer Chiefs feel the same.
'The club has already taken the initiative to keep the midfielder for two more years,' a source said. 'The talks are believed to have started before the end of the season. But apparently things are looking good. It will all now depend on what both parties are looking at. But the talks are open.'
Another source confirmed AmaKhosi's intentions, saying, 'Yes, he didn't start well under coach Nasreddine Nabi. We think he didn't understand him. But now they [Kaizer Chiefs] are happy with him and that's why they are offering him a two-year deal.'
'If all goes well and they agree on new terms it will start from next year until June 2028.'

Junior Khanye: 'Tau can't goto Chiefs or Pirates'
Kaizer Chiefs supporters have started to wonder if Percy Tau would provide solutions for Nasreddine Nabi's team in the Betway Premiership next season. Upon leaving Al Ahly last season, Amakhosi were said to be targeting the 31-year-old, but he opted to join Qatar SC. Tau is a free agent again, all while Kaizer Chiefs are in the market for experienced attacking players. Find out what the former Sundowns ace has said about the prospect of going to Naturena. Percy Tau during his short stint with Qatar SC. Images: percytau22/Instagram Makola gives two names for the Orlando Pirates job Speaking on 947 on Wednesday, Tau said he is still emotionally connected to Sundowns but grew up supporting Amakhosi. He is therefore open to both possibilities. 'If Sundowns were not to send me an offer and Kaizer Chiefs do, then it is not my fault,' Tau said. The Witbank-born player said he would not rule out any team that sends him an offer, including clubs like Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch FC. Famous player's brother announces Kaizer Chiefs move? 'I'll be honest with you, he is no longer the same player he was five, six, seven years ago,' said Khanye on iDiski TV. 'He's a totally different player and age is no longer on his side. He can't go to either Chiefs or Pirates, there's a lot of pressure especially at Pirates. 'There are youngsters who are speedy and very dynamic. They've got individual brilliance so who will he bench there? He's no longer the type of player who could get away with one vs one situations. 'Percy was dedicated, coachable, yes he has talent and living a clean life. But he can't go to Pirates he will be under so much pressure, especially if he says R400 000. That is a give and take. If they give you that R400 000 [a month] there will be expectations. 'They may give him the money, I'm referring to Pirates but he'd have to earn it and if he doesn't they can terminate the contract. It is going to be difficult for him to go there. 'At Kaizer Chiefs the problem is the surrounding. Yes you can sign him but does he still have the legs, can he carry the team when it's already difficult for [Gaston] Sirino – even one the best Khama [Billiat] couldn't. If Khama struggled and eventually left how is Percy Tau going to go there and do everything for Kaizer Chiefs and perform miracles, it's not going to happen. Jose Riveiro: 'Why I left Orlando Pirates' 'So for me he must go back to Sundowns and humble himself and accept a salary cut because also Sundowns can give him a job after football. There're many legends who are there. Bring him in for the Champions League and play him as a striker, he's technically good and has plenty of experience,' Khanye concluded.

Makola gives two names for the Orlando Pirates job
Orlando Pirates still haven't named the next coach to replace Jose Riveiro at the Betway Premiership giants next season. Several names have been touted, including Mamelodi Sundowns' legendary former coaches Rulani Mokwena and Pitso Mosimane and AmaZulu FC's former coach Pablo Franco Martin. In the meantime, former Buccaneer Mpho Makola has explained why Mokwena and Mosimane are the top candidates for the job. Famous player's brother announces Kaizer Chiefs move? Rulani Mokwena at the Athlone Stadium during Cape Town Spurs vs Mamelodi Sundowns. Image: IOL 'The best two options are Rulani [Mokwena] and Pitso [Mosimane],' Makola said via FARPost . 'For me, it's clear and obvious. They are the best. Whoever is coming has a big task at hand. As a matter of fact, the team needs a tried and tested candidate,' the former Orlando Pirates ace added. 'The previous coach [Jose Riveiro] won key titles for the team but couldn't win the league title. It has been elusive for a long time. So the new coach must be someone with fresh and unique ideas to win the league title. Jose Riveiro: 'Why I left Orlando Pirates' 'Coach Rulani knows the system very well, considering that he has been there before. It's an added advantage, and coach Pitso is tried and tested both locally and on the continent. 'Those are the undoubted and straightforward candidates for the team's job. It's the league title that is needed and missed at Orlando Pirates,' Makola concluded. Meanwhile, the latest reports have suggested that Mokwena has reached advanced talks to make a return to the Sea Robbers next season. 'It's 11 vs 11, Sundowns will do well' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 Subscribe to The South African website's newsletters and follow us on WhatsApp, Facebook, X and Bluesky for the latest news.
