Kaizer Chiefs are stepping up their game for the upcoming season with a significant increase in their transfer budget.
After a tough 2023/24 season that saw the club finish in a disappointing 10th place, the team is looking to make some strategic moves to strengthen their squad for the next campaign.
A Look at the Previous Spending and Results
In the current season, Kaizer Chiefs spent R60 million on new signings, including players like Thabo Cele, Miguel Inacio, and Rushwin Dortley.
Despite these additions, the club’s performance fell short of expectations, prompting the need for further changes.
With a renewed focus, the team currently sits in eighth place in the Premiership after 22 matches, showing signs of improvement under coach Nasreddine Nabi.
However, many feel that for the Chiefs to truly challenge for top honors, more high-quality signings are necessary.
A Substantial Increase in Budget for the New Season
According to reports from Soccer Laduma, Kaizer Chiefs have bumped up their transfer budget to R80 million for the next season, which is a R20 million increase from the previous amount.
This boost is a clear indication that the club is serious about bringing in the talent needed to compete at the highest level.
“It’s believed that the club has already set the budget for next season, and it’s R80 million.
Last season, they started with R50 million, which was later raised to R60 million during the January transfer window.
Now they’re increasing it again by R20 million to sign higher-quality players,” a source shared with the publication.
Targeting Key Positions for Improvement
With the larger budget, the club is reportedly focusing on signing four to five key players to strengthen specific areas of the squad.
The positions being prioritized include a goalkeeper, a left-back, a winger, a central midfielder, and a striker.
There’s also potential for another signing in a position that the technical team deems necessary.
One informant commented, “They’ve identified the areas where they need reinforcements, and with this budget, they’re aiming for quality signings that will really make a difference on the field.”
What’s Next for Kaizer Chiefs?
With an improved budget and a clear strategy in place, the question now is whether Kaizer Chiefs can rise to the challenge next season and improve on their current standing.
Fans will certainly be watching closely to see if these investments pay off and the team can push for greater success in the league.
