From players to coaches, the PSL is expected to welcome a myriad of personnel as clubs prepare for next season.
Several star players are poised to arrive in South Africa, which is often the formula needed for a competitive season as the rest of the league tries to dethrone Mamelodi Sundowns, who have won the league title for a record eight consecutive years.
Who’s IN?
- Percy Tau has publicly confirmed that he is willing to take a substantial pay cut to join Kaizer Chiefs. However, the club is reluctant to sign more veteran players.
- Tshepang Moremi is arguably PSL’s most wanted player, with Sundowns, Chiefs, and Pirates said to be interested in the uSuthu playmaker.
- AmaKhosi have reportedly offered veteran midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa a two-year contract extension in a bid to mix experience with youth.
- Orlando Pirates target Pitso Mosimane has Egyptian giants Zamalek FC vying for his services.
- Kaizer Chiefs are eyeing Tanzanian baller Maxi Mpia Nzengeli, a player they have tried to sign before.
Mthethwa news confirmed
The PSL needs players like Mthethwa, and it appears Kaizer Chiefs feel the same.
“The club has already taken the initiative to keep the midfielder for two more years,” a source said. “The talks are believed to have started before the end of the season. But apparently things are looking good. It will all now depend on what both parties are looking at. But the talks are open.”
Another source confirmed AmaKhosi’s intentions, saying, “Yes, he didn’t start well under coach Nasreddine Nabi. We think he didn’t understand him. But now they [Kaizer Chiefs] are happy with him and that’s why they are offering him a two-year deal.”
“If all goes well and they agree on new terms it will start from next year until June 2028.”
