Sundowns players Kaizer and Orlando Pirates could still sign

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will be keeping a close eye on these Mamelodi Sundowns players. Mamelodi Sundowns have garnered global interest but the Soweto giants could also have their say with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates linked with several Masandawana players. Mamelodi Sundowns gained world exposure in the recent FIFA Club World Cup following their impressive displays in the USA. So, several of The Brazilians have gained interest abroad. Meanwhile, back in SA both Amakhosi and the Bucs are amongst the potential suitors for Sundowns players facing an uncertain future at Chloorkop. Amakhosi have been strongly linked with Sundowns striker, Etiosa Ighodaro. The outbound Masandawana attacker was named in Chiefs' pre-season squad that travelled to the Netherlands. Furthermore, he was spotted in their training group. However, talks seem to have stalled or at least quieted down. Meanwhile, Amakhosi scouts have taken a liking to Sundowns defender, Thapelo Maseko. Both Chiefs and Pirates are interested in signing Bafana Bafana man, Lebogang Maboe. 'Other clubs reportedly vying for Maboe's signature include Soweto giants Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, as well as Sekhukhune United. Babina Noko had previously expressed interest in the midfielder before his loan move to SuperSport. For Amakhosi, the interest comes amidst significant squad changes, with captain Yusuf Maart's move to Austria reportedly imminent and Edson Castillo already released,' FarPost reported. So, the Soweto giants face are in a bidding war against each other. Meanwhile, PSL rivals Sekhukhune United are in the race too. Pirates secured the signature of Sipho Mbule in what is what of the biggest transfer scoops so far. Furthermore, his signature was confirmed shortly after Pirates announced the appointment of Abdeslam Ouaddou. However, he isn't the only Sundowns man linked with the Bucs. As mentioned, Maboe is on Chiefs and Pirates' radar. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates want ex-Mamelodi Sundowns man!

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates have both been incredibly busy in the current transfer market making several signings. Chiefs have made six signings at the moment, while Pirates have made nine with others agreed and set for announcements. On the Amakhosi side, they have announced Nkanyiso Shinga, Flavio Silva, Ethan Chislett , Paseka Mako, Thabiso Monyane and Siphesihle Ndlovu. Pirates have confirmed Sipho Mbule, Masindi Nemtajela, Nkosikhona Ndaba, Tshepo Mashiloane, Sihle Nduli, Tshepang Moremi , Sinoxolo Kwayiba and Yanela Mbuthuma. They also dropped the bomb of Oswin Appollis while they're yet to announce the signing of Malian midfielder Abdoulaye Mariko. It is not expected to be the end of the transfer business for neither of the Soweto Giants, however. According to FARPost , in fact, both Chiefs and Pirates are interested in recently released Mamelodi Sundowns star Lebohang Maboe. 'Other clubs reportedly vying for Maboe's signature include Soweto giants Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, as well as Sekhukhune United. Babina Noko had previously expressed interest in the midfielder before his loan move to SuperSport. For Amakhosi, the interest comes amidst significant squad changes, with captain Yusuf Maart's move to Austria reportedly imminent and Edson Castillo already released.' Wrote the publication. The other clubs who will be competing with Chiefs and Pirates Maboe are Durban City and Sekhukhune United. The midfielder formally played for City but while they were still called Maritzburg United. While at Babina Noko, he could find himself joining an ambitious group of players who finished fourth last season. Looking at Maboe's future prospects at Pirates, the picture looks grimmer. The Buccaneers already have so many top midfielder from last season alone. They then went on to add Nduli, Nemtajela, Kwayiba, Mbule and Mariko. So City, Sekhukhune and Chiefs could offer more game time. Pirates and Chiefs fans, would you take Maboe on a free? Or has that ship sailed? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab.
