Kaizer Chiefs - Full list: All confirmed departures
Kaizer Chiefs have parted ways with yet another player as the departures out of Naturena continue. Kaizer Chiefs have now released EIGHT players. Let's take a look at all confirmed Amakhosi departures so far. Ranga Chivaviro Sabelo Radebe Njabulo Blom Edmilson Dove Mduduzi Mdantsane Yusuf Maart Tebogo Potsane Bongani Sam Chivaviro was the first player released by Chiefs. Thereafter, Radebe and Blom were released by Amakhosi. Then, Amakhosi management freed up some international space by releasing Mozambican international, Dove. Shortly afterwards, Mdantsane and Chiefs parted ways amicably. Most of these departures were expected. However, nobody saw club captain Yusuf Maart leaving Amakhosi. He is now plying his trade for Austrian outfit – SV Reid. Finally, Potsane and Sam are the most recent player exits announced by Chiefs. Ironically, Sam, who was signed from Pirates, did not play under Nasreddine Nabi. He suffered a serious injury shortly after signing for Amakhosi. Then, he was never given a chance to stake his claim. Chivaviro has been replaced by Flavio Silva on attack. Furthermore, Amakhosi are still in the market for another attacker or two (a striker and a winger). In defense, Dove has been replaced by Mako at right back. So, Monyane and Nkanyiso Shinga will fill in Bongani Same and Njabulo Blom. In the midfield, Siphesihle Ndlovu and Ethan Chislett look set to replace Yusuf Maart, Mduduzi Mdantsane and Sabelo Radebe. Finally, Inacio Miguel will take over the Chiefs captaincy in the 2025/26 season. Therefore, Chiefs must still replace Potsane to balance their squad. Meaning, they need another winger and a striker. Also, Amakhosi are still in the market for a new goalkeeper.

Meanwhile, Edson Castillo, Tebogo Potsane and George Matlou all face likely exits. However, it's not all doom and gloom in the Chiefs midfield. Amakhosi recently signed Ethan Chislett and they have identified some big-name transfer targets. Interestingly, Chislett's preferred jersey number is the number 10. '[I am a] versatile midfielder, can sit deep, play further forward and wide right, even striker a few times, although more in a 'false 9' role. I like to cut in from the left onto my right foot, but if I had to define my best position, it would be a 'number 10',' he told the media. Chiefs are linked with these Bafana Bafana targets in the midfield. Chiefs want to sign another attacker or two. Specifically, an attacking midfielder and possibly another striker. 'As much as the team is believed to be looking at releasing strikers, they are still looking at signing at least one more attacking midfielder. They are talking about a winger or another number 10. I think that could be last signing for this window,' the insider stated on SNL . Meaning, Chiefs are in the market for another attacking player or more attacking players.
