Mamelodi Sundowns are on the verge of shutting down any hopes of a transfer for Kaizer Chiefs after the latest developments!
Both Sundowns and Chiefs have been actively making moves in the transfer market, with more signings expected from both sides.
Chiefs’ Interest in Kekana
Chiefs have been keenly eyeing Grant Kekana, a player currently with Sundowns.
At one point during the transfer window, there were rumors that Chiefs were monitoring Kekana’s contract situation with Sundowns.
The issue seemed to be disagreements over the terms of a new deal, especially regarding the length and salary.
This discord led to speculation that Kekana might consider a move to Amakhosi as an alternative.
Kekana’s Status at Sundowns
Despite the rumors, Kekana participated in pre-season with Sundowns and has been an integral part of their squad.
Recent updates from SABC Sport reveal that Kekana is set to be rewarded with a new, long-term contract with Sundowns.
This agreement will likely quash any remaining chances of Chiefs acquiring him.
Long-Term Deal Confirmed
According to SABC Sport, Sundowns and Kekana have agreed on a new long-term deal that will keep him at Chloorkop beyond June 2026.
The discussions, which have been ongoing for several months, follow Kekana’s impressive performance as Defender of the Season for the 2023/24 campaign.
An official announcement from Sundowns regarding this new contract is expected soon.
What’s next for both teams? Stay tuned for more updates!
