Transfer news: Kaizer Chiefs secure star who Nabi ‘respects a lot’
Kaizer Chiefs have secured the services of an important first team player for at least one more season.
The Glamour Boys already have one eye on next season, and while much of the focus will be on signing new players, it’s equally important for the club to retain their stars.
The club have reportedly reached an agreement with Edson Castillo to extend his contract at the club.

“Edson is very happy with his extension as it was his desire to continue with club for next years to come. He is committed to help the team win trophies.”
The Venezuelan is currently injured however, head coach Nasreddine Nabi made it clear previously that Castillo will be given a full chance to shine under him.
Nabi described Castillo as, “He’s a good man, he’s a gentleman, I respect him a lot,” to the same publication previously.

In other news, Kaizer Chiefs fans are wary of the major threat they face in their next encounter when they travel to Loftus Versfeld to face rivals Mamelodi Sundowns.
Sundowns are looking in imperious form, having opened up a nine point lead atop the Betway Premiership standings.
Their recent 4-1 thrashing of Orlando Pirates is leaving Amakhosi fans nervous ahead of their titanic clash.
And now, fans believe there’s one emergency signing that can help Kaizer Chiefs when they face Mamelodi Sundowns on 01 March 2025.
Chiefs fans urge the club to hijack Serero from City
Bafana Bafana legend Thulani Serero, currently a free agent, is back in South Africa and set to sign for Cape Town City FC.
Kaizer Chiefs fans however are dreaming of Serero partnering Thabo Cele in the middle of the park against powerhouses Mamelodi Sundowns.
Speaking on X (formerly Twitter), one fan had this to say: “Please sign Serero before Sundowns game to partner Cele. We can’t afford to play them with what we have now …Age is just a number, Pirates signed makhaula..”

Other fans unanimously agreed that Kaizer Chiefs should go all out to convince Serero to join the club, as opposed to joining Cape Town City FC.
@kaizerm_jr get Serero to partner Cele, he’s got the experience, played at the highest level. Give him a season contract, we will take it from there..
