Kaizer Chiefs: R9 million midfielder heading out of Naturena?

This talented midfielder is unhappy with his lack of game time at Kaizer Chiefs. In fact, he has hinted at a possible exit.

With the DStv Premiership coming to a close in a couple of weeks, players and coaches alike have to decide on their futures. Furthermore, big changes are inevitable at Chiefs given their current struggles and the inevitable changes on the cards.

Amakhosi will be hiring a new coach on a permanent basis. Meaning, he will essentially have a say in the future of several stars. However, in this case it is more about how the player feels and how management responds.

CHIEFS MIDFIELDER UNHAPPY

Edson Castillo is dissatisfied with his lack of regular playing time.

Furthermore, there is interest from sides in the Middle East, according to KickOff. Castillo has only started four of the last 10 games for the Soweto Giants which could jeopardize his chances of playing for the national team. Additionally, he has failed to score in his last fourteen club appearances.

Therefore, he is faced with the decision of leaving Chiefs in order to pursue his national career. With the Copa America around the corner and offers lurking, there is a strong chance that he could leave.

NEW COACH TO HAVE THE FINAL SAY ON FUTURE PLAYERS

Whoever is appointed as the new coach will have the final say on several players. In most cases, he will decide on who to keep and let go as he builds his squad for next season. In this case, he needs to consider his future now.

Therefore, a decision could be made sooner depending on how management respond to his concerns. It must be noted, that they are aware of other offers and that he is unhappy at the club. Perhaps, his recent lack of gametime is an indication of what is to come.
