Maseko, Mashego headline Sundowns' likely departures
After Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso announced last week they will work tirelessly to reduce the squad size, we look at players who are likely to be affected. Terrence Mashego The left-back has found it difficult to break into the starting line-up, making only 13 appearances this past season. The 29-year-old has one year remaining on his deal and could be searching for game time elsewhere. Kobamelo Kodisang He joined Sundowns at the beginning of the season from Moreirense in Portugal after signing a five-year contract. However, the 25-year-old struggled for game time, with only 13 appearances, scoring two goals and providing two assists. He could be released or loaned. Reyaad Pieterse With his contract coming to an end today, it won't be a surprise if Sundowns decide not to offer him a new deal. The goalkeeper joined Sundowns in 2018 from SuperSport United but never really stamped his mark on his stay, with Ronwen Williams, Denis Onyango and Jody February ahead of him in the pecking order. The 33-year-old failed to make a single appearance this past season. Matías Esquivel He has failed to make an impact since joining the club in January last year from Club Atlético Lanús. The 26-year-old Argentinian midfielder was loaned out top flight Argentina club Talleres de Cordoba at the beginning of last season in a bid to regain form, and returned to Sundowns in January. He found the game time hard to come by, making just three appearances. Thapelo Maseko After joining Sundowns from SuperSport in 2023, the attacking midfielder has struggled to replicate the same performance he showed at Matsatsantsa a Pitori and was part of the players who were omitted from travelling to the World Cup. It is also understood the 21-year-old has attracted interest from an unnamed club in Cyprus. Maseko only managed 14 games this season in all competitions.

Kaizer Chiefs news: Club World Cup reject, tax scandal hits hard
Kaizer Chiefs are eyeing former target and Mamelodi Sundowns Terrence Mashego, who was left out of the PSL Champions FIFA Club World Cup squad. This was easy to predict after the 28-year-old amassed just four league appearances last campaign as Aubrey Modiba, Divine Lunga, and Asekho Tiwani often rotated. Mashego is reportedly keen on leaving the Tshwane giants to secure a starting role – Kaizer Chiefs are happy to accommodate. Kaizer Chiefs veteran Gaston Sirino is in hot water with the South African Revenue Service, who have reported R6.1 million in unpaid tax. The Uruguayan has ten days to settle the payment. 'According to the records of the South African Revenue Service, you have failed to pay your tax debt for one or more tax years and tax periods… you are requested to make full payment within 10 days from the date of this letter of demand,' a statement revealed. 'Failure to make full payment or use the above remedies may result in the following actions and possibly others: Sars may appoint any third party who presently or in the future will owe you money or hold money for you to settle your tax debt with this money.' 'A civil judgment is being entered against you, in which case a warrant of execution may be issued for the sheriff of the court to attach and sell your assets.'

Kaizer Chiefs reignite bid for Mamelodi Sundowns star Mashego
Kaizer Chiefs have reignited their pursuit of Mamelodi Sundowns left-back Terrence Mashego, aiming to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season. After failing to land him during the tight January transfer window, the Soweto giants now feel they have both time and leverage on their side – but the situation has quickly become more complicated. A source revealed the club's renewed determination. 'What I can tell you is that the club with all involved departments still believe they need Terrence (Mashego) at the club… They are really reigniting their interest in him.' This statement underlines Kaizer Chiefs' strong internal belief that Mashego fits their long-term vision. Chiefs' technical team reportedly view the Bafana Bafana international as a key component in their defensive rebuild. Initially, Mashego's exclusion from Mamelodi Sundowns' FIFA Club World Cup squad gave Amakhosi hope that the Brazilians might be open to offloading the player. Chiefs viewed this as an opportunity to swoop in without much resistance. However, Sundowns later included Mashego in their Club World Cup roster, sending a strong signal that he remains in their plans. To complicate matters further, Sundowns have triggered a one-year contract extension for the left-back, adding a financial barrier for Chiefs to navigate. With Mashego's contract extension now official, Kaizer Chiefs must table a formal offer if they hope to lure him away from Chloorkop. The free transfer route is no longer an option, placing the ball firmly in Sundowns' court. Chiefs, however, remain undeterred. The source believes the extended negotiation window ahead of the 2025/2026 campaign could prove decisive in getting the deal over the line. If they succeed, Mashego's arrival could prove to be a statement signing, and a crucial step in restoring the club's former glory.

CONFIRMED: Kaizer Chiefs target FIFA Club World Cup reject!
Kaizer Chiefs have returned their sights on Mamelodi Sundowns defender Terrence Mashego after failing to land the 28-year-old in January. 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.'

Kaizer Chiefs target Mamelodi Sundowns outcast
Kaizer Chiefs look set to reignite their pursuit of Mamelodi Sundowns defender Terrence Mashego, after his glaring omission from the Brazilians' squad for the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States raised eyebrows. Mashego, who left Cape Town City in 2022 to join Sundowns, endured a deeply disappointing 2024/2025 campaign. He managed only five appearances in the Betway Premiership, falling behind Aubrey Modiba, Divine Lunga, and rising star Asekho Tiwani in the left-back hierarchy. With limited opportunities and his Club World Cup exclusion highlighting his marginalised role, the 28-year-old Bafana Bafana international appears increasingly open to a move. A source confirmed. 'Mashego wants regular football again and the Club World Cup omission shows he's not in Cardoso's plans.' Kaizer Chiefs have identified the left side of defence as a key area to strengthen. Mashego, a former AFCON bronze medallist with South Africa, has reportedly emerged as one of their top targets. Chiefs previously explored a deal in the last transfer window but failed to secure his services, with Sundowns choosing to retain the Mamelodi-born fullback. However, the timing now seems ideal. With Chiefs pushing to rebuild under their new technical team and Mashego desperate to revitalise his career, the potential transfer could benefit both the player and the Soweto giants. Although Mashego remains contracted to Sundowns for another season, his future appears uncertain. A move to Naturena would give him a fresh start, while Chiefs would gain a seasoned domestic campaigner with both international and continental experience. 'Mashego is eager to regain his place in the national team setup,' a source added, signalling the player's readiness for a new chapter. Will Mashego push for a move to Kaizer Chiefs?
