CONFIRMED: Kaizer Chiefs target FIFA Club World Cup reject!
Mashego, who amassed only four league appearances last campaign, has not travelled with the FIFA Club World Cup squad to America, insinuating that the club are hoping to offload the former Cape Town City star, who is reportedly equally as keen on an exit.
Another defender Kaizer Chiefs are hoping to lure is SuperSport United's Neo Rapoo. The 19-year-old is looking like a hot commodity this offseason.
'Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are both keen to sign SuperSport United left-back Neo Rapoo ahead of the new season,' a 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 Kaizer Chiefs are looking to remedy a position that has plagued them in the last couple of seasons.'
In other news, Kaizer Chiefs have rewarded veteran midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa with a two-year extension, keeping him at the club until 2028.
'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 reaffirmed the news, 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.'

'Another Chivaviro?' – Chiefs fans slam Da Silva after sloppy debut
Kaizer Chiefs fans were left frustrated with Flavio Da Silva's performance in his fight match for the club against Vitesse. He was named in the starting 11 for Amakhosi on Tuesday night, where they lost 2-1 to the Dutch side in a training match. Reeve Frosler scored the only goal for the visitors as they suffered defeat in their first pre-season match. The 29-year-old striker joined Amakhosi last week from Persebaya Surabaya in Indonesia. The Portuguese striker is relatively unknown, but it has been documented that he was one of the best players in Indonesia. With Amakhosi desperate for a good striker, Da Silva is not tasked with the job of scoring goals for the Soweto giants. The striker looked sluggish and failed to combine with his teammates. His touches and ball control were very suspect but it could be that he is trying to come to terms with a new style of play. Kaizer Chiefs fans, however, were not pleased with how the striker performed on Tuesday. Many compared him to departed forward Ranga Chivaviro who has a love/hate with Amakhosi supporters due to his inconsistency in front of goals. 'Fighting every bone in my body to watch the Chiefs game.. My WhatsApp groups are already writing off Flavio Silva ba re another Chivaviro, what reason I didn't want this to be streamed,' @Nipho_MK. 'I saw him leaving the ball behind and switched to Netflix immediately,' @HLABARINTO tweeted. @IGNY567 wrote: 'Lol it is just preseason but I don't think he will survive Betway Prem, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. One thing I saw is that he can press, maybe it will be the system that fails him.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
