Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr. recently addressed a pressing issue that’s been buzzing around the Soweto giants.

It seems there’s a common belief that other clubs inflate transfer fees when negotiating with Chiefs, simply because of their high profile in South African football.

During a chat with Thabiso Mosia on Radio2000, Motaung Jr. admitted that this can indeed be the case.

He explained that while sometimes the inflated prices are due to market conditions, there are also times when other clubs set realistic prices.

This honest insight sheds light on the tricky dynamics Kaizer Chiefs face in the transfer market.

Despite their efforts to handle these challenges effectively, the club often finds itself juggling fair valuations with maintaining good relationships within the league.

Transfer Activity: Gains and Setbacks

Kaizer Chiefs have been active in the transfer market, bringing in six new players to revamp their squad.

However, their efforts to secure some top targets hit a few snags.

The club made competitive bids for players like Khanyisa Mayo and Elias Mokwena but didn’t manage to land them.

They also showed keen interest in Asanele Velebayi, but negotiations with Cape Town Spurs over the player’s valuation have yet to reach a resolution.

Motaung Jr. emphasized the delicate balance required in these negotiations.

“At the end of the day, it’s give and take.

Everyone has to place a value on what they think a product is worth, if I can put it that way.

It’s just business, I guess.”

His remarks highlight the complexity of player transfers and the importance of strategic negotiation to achieve successful results.

Sibongiseni Mthethwa’s Future Under Coach Nabi

Sibongiseni Mthethwa’s future with Kaizer Chiefs is currently uncertain as new head coach Nasreddine Nabi rethinks the team’s tactical approach.

Mthethwa, who made headlines with his high-profile move from Stellenbosch FC for around R10 million, has been struggling to find his place in the team’s current midfield strategy.

Although there was much excitement about his signing, Mthethwa’s style, which focuses on disrupting the opposition, has led to a more defensive and less creative midfield setup.

A source close to the team shared that “his presence as a big-money signing compromised how the Soweto giants played, resulting in a midfield that’s too defensive and lacking creativity.”

It remains to be seen how Mthethwa’s role will evolve under the new coach’s plans.
