Thabo Cele, one of Kaizer Chiefs’ and Mamelodi Sundowns’ key midfield targets, could suddenly be available on a free transfer!
Cele’s contract with Radomiak had an option to extend for another season, and it was assumed that the club will exercise it, influencing Chiefs and Sundowns’ plans.
Cele is, of course, back in South Africa, having represented Bafana Bafana in the COSAFA Cup in his home region of KZN. His return was also effective, as he was named man of the match. Although the hosts were forced to come from behind, the KZN Academy graduate had a superb game in the center of the park.
Such a performance may have had Chiefs fans daydreaming about what might have been had their team been able to complete a deal for Cele two seasons ago. The player stated that he waited for the team to sign him, but nothing happened. He eventually found himself working abroad. The boxer has made no secret of his affection for Amakhosi, having grown up as a fan of the club, so the signing would have meant a lot more to him.
Now, either the Chiefs’ wish will come true, or Cele will end up at their rivals Sundowns, who appear to have showed the most interest in the player thus far. This is because, according to rumors in Poland, the midfielder is no longer in Radomiak’s plans and has elected to stay in South Africa for his next transfer.
Chiefs, are you keeping an eye on Cele’s Radomiak situation?
“One more transfer in Radomiak.” This time from the club. According to what I’ve heard, Thabo Cele will no longer be a Green player. He spent practically the whole preseason with the South African national team and decided he wanted to stay in Africa permanently.”
According to a translated Tweet by Polish sports journalist Maciej awrynowicz.
Mamelodi Sundowns emerged as the new favourites to sign Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates targets
It is unclear whether Radomiak will exercise Cele’s option and pay out, or whether he will be freed for free. In any case, both the Chiefs and the Sundowns will be watching.
