Kaizer Chiefs are closely monitoring Mamelodi Sundowns as key players like Themba Zwane, Peter Shalulile, and Khuliso Mudau approach free agency in Pretoria.

Kaizer Chiefs are closely watching Mamelodi Sundowns’ situation, especially as several star players are nearing the end of their contracts.

This includes big names like Themba Zwane, Peter Shalulile, and Khuliso Mudau, all of whom bring a wealth of PSL experience to the table.

With their contracts expiring in June, it’s no surprise that Kaizer Chiefs, known for making moves for out-of-contract players from the Brazilians, are keeping an eye on the Tshwane-based club’s situation.

Sundowns Coach Miguel Cardoso Plans to Trim the Squad

The situation at Sundowns has taken an interesting turn, with coach Miguel Cardoso planning to significantly reduce his squad.

Sources report that he’s looking to cut the current roster from 40 players down to around 25, or at most 30, if the club opts for a larger squad.

The coach has expressed that managing such a large squad is challenging, especially with the high number of games the team plays throughout the season.

Challenges of Managing a Big Squad

Cardoso believes that a leaner squad would allow for better rotation without overburdening the players.

He’s reportedly said that having around 25 infield players and three or four goalkeepers would offer more balance.

With such a squad, Sundowns would be able to maintain strong rotations, which would be nearly impossible with their current 40-player roster.

According to the reports, both the Sporting Director and management are on board with this change, suggesting that Sundowns will soon look to downsize and streamline their squad.

Kaizer Chiefs Ready to Take Advantage of Sundowns’ Downsizing

With Sundowns trimming their roster and several key players coming close to free agency, Kaizer Chiefs could be licking their lips at the possibility of landing some of these talented individuals.

If players like Zwane, Shalulile, or Mudau become available, they could make an immediate impact at Chiefs, strengthening their squad as the new season approaches.

The possibility of scooping up high-quality players from Sundowns only adds to the intrigue surrounding the team’s transfer strategies in the coming months.
