Orlando Pirates will be ushering in a new era with a new coach and captain set to be appointed.

Innocent Maela
Phillip Ndlondlo
Karim Kimvuidi
Zakhele Lepasa
Patrick Maswanganyi
Pirates will be loaning out young goalkeeper, Siyabonga Dladla.
So, the Bucs keeper can gain some much-needing experience and get more playing time under his belt.
Meanwhile, Pirates will be offloading several stars with Maela, Ndlondlo, Kimvuidi and Lepasa all set to be released in the next transfer window.
'What I can tell you for now, apparently is that it's believed that these four players could be the ones to leave. The club is working with all the involved parties to look at the way forward so that they can reach an amicable solution where it is needed. So far the four players are on the lost and are expected to leave at the end of the season,' the report read on SNL.
Finally, Bucs attacker, Maswanganyi is linked with a big move to Europe. His former club UD Oliveirense are in hot pursuit of him. They want him back at the club. However, Pirates have slapped a R40-million price tag on their skillful attacker.

Orlando Pirates man chosen to solve big Kaizer Chiefs problem?
Kaizer Chiefs are looking to step up their transfer activity as the new transfer window is fasting approaching. Chiefs finished outside the top eight for a second consecutive season and know improvements are imperative for the next. Furthermore, Chiefs will be playing in the CAF Confederation Cup next season. This a feat that they earned after beating arch rivals Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final. That will see their schedule become increasingly difficult, factoring more games and travel throughout the continent. Then having to balance that with potentially, Betway Premiership, Carling Knockout and Nedbank Cup games. With that in mind, Chiefs management will understand they will need strength and depth as well as experience. This then looks to have led them to the surprise move to sign Paseka Mako to boost their left-back ranks. The 31-year-old would be arriving from arch nemesis Pirates with a wealth of know-how. This after playing continental football and winning six trophies while with the Buccaneers. He would also come in as a potential starter, solving the left-back issue at Amakhosi. Now according to SABC Sport , Chiefs are in advanced talks to sign Mako after recently leaving Pirates. 'SABC Sport can exclusively reveal that former Orlando Pirates defender Paseka Mako could be heading to Naturena as talks with Kaizer Chiefs have progressed to an advanced stage. According to information gathered by the public broadcaster, the 31-year-old has entered into talks with their Soweto rivals over a potential move to The Glamour Boys ahead of the upcoming season. Mako now presents a viable option and will arrive as a free agent, should the finer details be ironed out and all parties involved are satisfied.' Wrote the publication. Chiefs fans, with the experience Mako has, would he be the right signing for your club? Pirates fans, would you be disappointed to see him at Amakhosi? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab.

Latest:Saleng stays at Orlando Pirates or moving to Kaizer Chiefs?
Orlando Pirates have already made some big player decisions this close window, with Monnapule Saleng potentially next on the list. Saleng has been isolated from the Pirates first team for the whole of 2025, with rumours he'll join Kaizer Chiefs. He last played for Pirates in December 2024, in a CAF Champions League game against Al Ahly. Even in that game, Saleng's involvement from he start was a bit of a surprise, as he had been MIA for a while prior. It then quickly became apparent that there was something wrong between club and player. It was uncovered that Saleng was not happy with his contract situation at Pirates. The speedy winger then resurfaced with Bafana Bafana and was part of their first leg CHAN win over Egypt. He then made headlines for the wrong reasons, again, when he failed to join their camp ahead of the way leg. Even though he was pictured back at training with Pirates towards the end of the season, Saleng's still in limbo. Despite rumours that he has joined arch rivals Chiefs on a pre-contract, there's still no confirmation on that. And now according to Soccer-Laduma , there's still a glimmer of hope that he remains a Buccaneers instead! 'The club is busy with preparations for next season, and you can expect more players to be allowed to move on to make space for new signings. He (Saleng) is one of the players the club is currently busy with regarding his future. But from what I understand, there is a slight chance for him to stay – if the parties manage to sort out their differences. If not, then anything could happen. At the end of the day, he needs to get back on the field and play. The club loves the boy, and he loves the club – it's just that there were issues that needed to be sorted out, which affected his progress this season,' said the source. Pirates fans would you be happy with Saleng staying? Chiefs fans, are you still hopefully he joins? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab.

Kaizer Chiefs eye Slovakian forward but fans not impressed
Kaizer Chiefs have set their sights on Slovakian attacker Robert Polievka, currently playing for MTK Budapest in Hungary, according to Sportswire . The club aims to strengthen its front line ahead of a crucial season, with continental football on the horizon. However, the pursuit won't come cheap. Polievka remains under contract with MTK Budapest until 2027, meaning Amakhosi will need to pay a transfer fee to secure his services. Despite being a forward, Polievka's goal return does little to inspire confidence. He has managed just four goals in 26 matches across all competitions, a tally far from what Chiefs supporters might expect from a potential frontline spearhead. Kaizer Chiefs find themselves in need of a proven centre-forward after parting ways with Ranga Chivaviro. The former Marumo Gallants striker looked promising early last season, netting two goals in his first three appearances. However, his game time dwindled as the season progressed, prompting the club to allow his contract to lapse at the end of June. Amakhosi will be desperate to avoid another disappointing league campaign. They finished ninth this past season, missing out on a top-eight finish for the second year running. The club's leading scorers, Wandile Duba and Glody Lilepo, only managed five goals each, with Lilepo joining midway through the season. There's renewed optimism at Naturena following their Nedbank Cup triumph, which ended a decade-long trophy drought. The victory also secured Chiefs a spot in next season's CAF Confederation Cup, heightening the urgency to reinforce the squad with quality signings. 'We're looking to better our attack and Polievka is one of the players we're monitoring closely for a while,' a source revealed. Should Kaizer Chiefs sign Robert Polievka?
