According to iDiski Times, Cardoso is one of many long-serving players Chiefs are looking to offload in order to make way for new signings.

Cardoso has had a love-hate relationship with a section of Amakhosi fans over the past two seasons, especially those who feel he should be released.

Nonetheless, while Cardoso has been a stalwart for Chiefs over the last seven years, he hasn’t been able to taste success in terms of trophies.

Cardoso has featured 24 times in all competitions for Chiefs this season, and he’s found the back of the net once which came against Baroka in August 2021.
