Kaizer Chiefs have expressed interest in acquiring Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa. Currently, Mabasa is on loan at Stellenbosch FC, with his contract with the Soweto giants set to expire next month.
This situation allows Mabasa the opportunity to sign a pre-contract with any team, yet he has not made a commitment to a new club as of now. With his loan at Stellenbosch coming to an end this weekend, Chiefs aims to secure his services upon its conclusion.
The indications are that Pirates have not opted to extend Mabasa’s contract, suggesting that he may no longer fit into their plans. This was further evidenced by the decision to loan him out, highlighting that the player is considered surplus to requirements.
Amid Chiefs’ interest, there is potential for a transfer battle, as Stellies head coach Gavin Hunt is reportedly keen on retaining Mabasa for the upcoming season.
