This despite Matsatsantsa offering Fleurs a new deal in January which was supposed to have expired in June 2026.

“SABC Sport can confirm defender Luke Fleurs has left SuperSport United, which immediately makes the player a free agent,” reports the publication.
“Furthermore, the public broadcaster can reveal the 23-year-old might not be short of suitors as Kaizer Chiefs are understood to have invited the centre-back for an assessment at their base in Naturena,” added the report.
