Kaizer Chiefs transfers: New Bafana goalkeeper

Kaizer Chiefs are anticipated to find and introduce a new goalkeeper for the 2025/26 season. Bruce Bvuma, Brandon Petersen and Fiacre Ntwari earned opportunities but failed to seize them fully.
While Petersen and Bvuma signed new deals last season, and Bvuma joined from TS Galaxy last winter, Amakhosi is expected to part ways with at least one of them.
Rumours suggest Ntwari could be sacrificed for the purpose of opening up a foreign spot. The Premier Soccer League permits no more than five foreign players on each team.

In the meantime, reports say Sekhukhune United and Bafana Bafana's newly-capped 27-year-old goalkeeper, Leaner, has been noticed by the Glamour Boys.
'Kaizer Chiefs are set to make an enquiry to Sekhukhune United over goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner, who has broken into the senior national team,' iDiski Times reported.

'The 27-year-old iKamva graduate earned his way into the Sekhukhune line-up shortly after the arrival of Eric Tinkler and made a huge impression, more notably in the Nedbank Cup, where he pulled off a Man of the Match display in their 1-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns.
The publication further confirmed that Sekhukhune are in no position to lose Learner.
'Babina Noko have since parted ways with veteran goalkeeper Badra Ali Sangare and Lloydt Kazapua, and while they are in the market for replacements, the chance of granting a sale to Kaizer Chiefs for Learner remains slim at present,' the outlet concluded.
