Chiefs eye star winger, while Pirates announce new arrival!
Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates continue to engage in positive talks with both clubs linked to several star players, including in-form striker Fiston Mayele – however, that seems a bit of reach. A player who is believed to be attainable is Kaizer Chiefs' target, Maxi Mpia Nzengel. The Young Africans midfielder, like Fiesal Salum, is reportedly keen on a move to Soweto. 'So, he wants to come to Chiefs, because he is not keen on renewing with Yanga,' a source said. 'Also, he is said to be in advanced talks with them [Kaizer Chiefs].' Meanwhile, Baroka FC chairman Khurishi Mphahlele has confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Orlando Pirates for star defender Tshepho Moshiloane, who will arrive on July 1. 'We still got to pay Mashiloane until the end of June, but Orlando Pirates have purchased Mashiloane for the coming season, not this season,' Baroka' FC's chairman Khurishi Mphahlele told iDiski Times . 'But if Pirates want Mashiloane earlier there's no problem we've got an agreement with Pirates. We can always make provision for that, but we are going to pay Mashiloane at the end of June because his contract ends at the end of June and the Pirates contract begins on the first of July. 'From the first of July he is an Orlando Pirates player, until then he's still our player and we pay him.' An emerging theme in the offseason market is that Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates have the same tasted, highlighted most recently by their shared interest in SuperSport youngster 'Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are both keen to sign SuperSport United left-back Neo Rapoo ahead of the new season,' an inside source revealed. 'His performances as he led South Africa U20 to the Africa Cup of Nations title earned him interest in Scandinavia and the Gulf but sources as Matsatsansa have confirmed Chiefs and Pirates are both seriously after the player who is seen as future senior national team left-back.' 'With Orlando Pirates having released Paseka Mako and the retirement of Innocent Maela, their interest on the promising full-back comes as no surprise, while Chiefs are looking to remedy a position that has plagued them in the last couple of seasons.'
