kaizer chiefs have reportedly taken a major decision on their captain.

29-year-old midfielder Yusuf Maart joined the Amakhosi from Sekhukhune United in 2022.

The hard-running midfielder has already made 64 appearances for the Glamour Boys, scoring four goals and assisting five more.

And now, reports suggest the midfielder will remain at the club beyond his current contract which ends at the end of the season!

Kaizer Chiefs to extend Maart’s contract?

According to local publication Soccer Laduma, Kaizer Chiefs are preparing to reward Maart with a new two-year contract, plus an option to extend for one more year!

If everything goes according to plan, the midfielder will remain at the club until at least 2028.

In other news, there’s been a lot of talk about Kaizer Chiefs making a serious move for Cape Town Spurs’ star Asanele Velebayi. But did they actually put in a bid, or was it just another rumour?

The Glamour Boys made a host of managerial and player changes heading into the new season after enduring a torrid 2023/24 campaign.

The club also made some big new signings however, Asnele Velebayi to Kaizer Chiefs was a move that ultimately hogged the headlines.

Chiefs were unable to land the rising star, with many fans left questioning whether they actually attempted to sign him or not.

Did Chiefs table an offer for Velebayi?

The short answer is indeed yes! Cape Town Spurs boss Alexi Efstathiou has confirmed that Kaizer Chiefs tabled an offer for Velebayi.

“There was interest from three different clubs locally and there was interest from overseas as well but the overseas ones I think were more difficult and more speculative than the local ones.” Efstathiou told iDiski Times.

“I would say mostly verbal, if you want to call it a serious offer, the one that came in writing from Kaizer Chiefs probably a month ago which we declined as it was substantially lower than the asking price.”

Next three Kaizer Chiefs fixtures

Kaizer Chiefs next host arch rivals Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Amakhosi then go on a long break before tackling SuperSport United on 26 October. Four days later, Nabi’s side travel to the Peter Mokaba Stadium to face the newly-promoted Magesi FC.
