Kaizer Chiefs may have to fork out big money should they wish to land one of their reported transfer targets.

The Glamour Boys were linked with a move for AmaZulu FC star Siphesihle Maduna.

According to the latest transfer gossip, Maduna is set to extend his contract at Usuthu by two more years.

This means that the Glamour Boys will have to cough up a hefty transfer fee should they wish to land the 23-year-old attacker.

Amakhosi take decision on Bimenyimana?

“It’s pretty disappointing how the coach told Caleb that he will be gone at the end of the season. If that’s the case, you call a player into the office and explain your decision to him privately,” an un-named Kaizer Chiefs player told FARPost.

“It’s a bit inappropriate to say it in front of teammates. They were not there when the club brought the player. It gets us as players wondering if our coach would ever stand for us to protect us.”
