What rivalry? Orlando Pirates gift Kaizer Chiefs two stars!
Orlando Pirates have decided to release Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane after several years of service. The former has, according to SABC Sport, entered the final stages with Kaizer Chiefs, while Monyane is another player said to have been offered to Nasreddine Nabi. Jose Riverio's departure has yet to be resolved as Orlando Pirates continue to vet candidates, including former Mamelodi Sundowns managers Pisto Mosimane and Rulani Mokwena, who are both being simultaneously monitored by Egyptian giants Zamalek FC. Mokwena wants to stay clear of competing against his former mentor for a job, suggesting he be reluctant on the Buccaneers posting as well. 'I didn't hear from them (Zamalek) after I had said I heard that coach Pitso was also in the running for this position,' Mokwena told SuperSport's Africa Soccer show. 'My relationship and my respect for him would not allow me to compete for the same coaching job with coach Pitso.' 'It just wouldn't sit well with me, so I pulled out. I said I would rather they give it to Pitso.' 'Exactly what you are saying, my agent said, 'But this is a big club', and I said my respect for Pitso and what he has done for my career wouldn't allow me to do that.' Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates' chances of signing Fiston Mayele just got harder; the Congolese international is attracting lucrative bids. 'Mayele has received incredible offers, offers exceeding $3 million (R55 million) and reaching $4 million (R74 million) per season. The player is receiving $1 million per season from Pyramids, but he completely refuses to continue,' a source revealed. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Kaizer Chiefs news: Three Pirates players linked, Mayele latest
Kaizer Chiefs are bizarrely linked with three Orlando Pirates players – Monnapule Saleng, Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane – one of which has entered the final stages with Nasreddine Nabi's side. According to SABC Sport, soon-to-be free agent Mako is currently the closest to inking a deal with AmaKhosi, while Monyane is another player the Buccaneers are releasing – he too is on Chiefs' radar. Meanwhile, Monnapule Saleng has reportedly (per SoccerLaduma) signed a pre-contract with the Glamour Boys; however, this has yet to be confirmed. Unfortunately for Kaizer Chiefs, Fiston Mayele's CAF Champions League performances have him on the top of several transfer lists, decreasing their likelihood of signing the Congolese star. 'Mayele's career with Pyramids FC will end at the end of the current season. The player will leave after the Zamalek and Pyramids match in the Egypt Cup final.' 'Mayele has received incredible offers, offers exceeding $3 million (R55 million) and reaching $4 million (R74 million) per season. The player is receiving $1 million per season from Pyramids, but he completely refuses to continue.' 'Pyramids Club, in appreciation of the player and the fact that he is the top scorer in the African Champions League and was one of the reasons the team won the championship,' Egyptian publication Al-Masry Al-Youm revealed.

Kaizer Chiefs move fast for Orlando Pirates playmaker!
Orlando Pirates will not renew Paseka Mako's contract when it expires on July 1, opening the door for Kaizer Chiefs, who are said to be in advanced talks with the veteran left-back. Mako isn't AmaKhosi's first option, having faced rejection with fellow wing backs Riaan Hanamub and Stellenbosch star Fawaaz Basadien. Several players are expected to join Nasreddine Nabi's outfit over the coming months, and it appears one of their first signings won't have to travel far. Kaizer Chiefs' long-term target Fiston Mayele has the world at his feet after guiding Pyramids FC to their first African title, scoring in each knockout round, including a brace against Orlando Pirates. Mayele may be out of reach for the Soweto giants with the player reportedly attracting bids upwards of R74 million. 'Mayele's career with Pyramids FC will end at the end of the current season. The player will leave after the Zamalek and Pyramids match in the Egypt Cup final.' 'Mayele has received incredible offers, offers exceeding $3 million (R55 million) and reaching $4 million (R74 million) per season. The player is receiving $1 million per season from Pyramids, but he completely refuses to continue.' 'Pyramids Club, in appreciation of the player and the fact that he is the top scorer in the African Champions League and was one of the reasons the team won the championship,' Egyptian publication Al-Masry Al-Youm revealed.

Goal hungry Kaizer Chiefs eye highly-rated Bafana Bafana star!
Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly reignited their interest in Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana, a player they tried to sign before he opted for Esperance. The talented attacker has struggled to make the starting eleven this season but has been seen as a super-sub, amassing twenty-five league appearances, during which he has scored three goals and two assists. In the CAF Champions League, he recorded another five-goal contribution in eight games. Long-term target Fiston Mayele may be out of reach for Kaizer Chiefs, who will have recently heard of the player receiving bids upwards of R74 million. 'Mayele's career with Pyramids FC will end at the end of the current season. The player will leave after the Zamalek and Pyramids match in the Egypt Cup final.' 'Mayele has received incredible offers, offers exceeding $3 million (R55 million) and reaching $4 million (R74 million) per season. The player is receiving $1 million per season from Pyramids, but he completely refuses to continue.' 'Pyramids Club, in appreciation of the player and the fact that he is the top scorer in the African Champions League and was one of the reasons the team won the championship,' Egyptian publication Al-Masry Al-Youm revealed. Another striker on Kaizer Chiefs' radar is Mamelodi Sundowns man Mamelodi Sundows', Etiosa Ighodaro. 'Yes, it's true. Chiefs are believed to have enquired about Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro,' a SoccerLaduma source revealed 'You know the thing is the same people who scouted him from Nigeria for Sundowns are the same who have enquired about him for Kaizer Chiefs.' 'Actually it's not the first time they have enquired about him. They tried before when he was on loan at Chippa United but Sundowns sent him on loan at SuperSport United. But now they are apparently looking at the possibility of Sundowns letting him go and they can pounce on him.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Kaizer Chiefs news: R74 million, three exits, Nabi travels abroad
Kaizer Chiefs fans have a lot to be excited about as AmaKhosi begins to roll up their sleeves for the upcoming transfer market. Coach Nasreddine Nabi has been doing his rounds to try to lure top talent, namely Feisal Salum and Fiston Mayele. The Tunisian returned to his old stomping grounds (Tanzania) to meet with former player Salum before heading up north to hold talks with one of Africa's most sought-after talents, Mayele. And while the former has given the green light, signing the latter seems to be out of reach as Pyramids become inundated with several high-money offers. 'Mayele's career with Pyramids FC will end at the end of the current season. The player will leave after the Zamalek and Pyramids match in the Egypt Cup final.' 'Mayele has received incredible offers, offers exceeding $3 million (R55 million) and reaching $4 million (R74 million) per season. The player is receiving $1 million per season from Pyramids, but he completely refuses to continue.' 'Pyramids Club, in appreciation of the player and the fact that he is the top scorer in the African Champions League and was one of the reasons the team won the championship,' Egyptian publication Al-Masry Al-Youm revealed. Kaizer Chiefs have decided to part ways with Range Chivaviro, who was a shadow of his former self last campaign. The club confirmed the news in a statement, saying, 'Kaizer Chiefs will not be extending striker Ranga Chivaviro's contract when it expires at the end of the month.' 'The Limpopo-born attacker joined Amakhosi from Marumo Gallants in the 2023/24 season on a two-year deal. He scored nine goals and provided one assist in 45 official matches wearing Chiefs colours over two seasons.' We thank Ranga for his positive contribution to the team and wish him all the best in his future exploits.' Meanwhile, Njabulo Blom and Sabelo Radebe have also been released.
