The fierce rivalry between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates is intensifying, both on and off the field, as both clubs target key players for the upcoming season.
Kaizer Chiefs have pinpointed seven top transfer targets, while Orlando Pirates are chasing six players, including Bafana Bafana stars and top talent from their PSL rivals. However, both clubs are facing competition, as they both have their eyes set on two of the same players.
Chiefs and Pirates Battle for Bafana Winger
One of the most sought-after players is Tshepang Moremi of AmaZulu, who is currently in high demand. Both Chiefs and Pirates are eager to secure his signature for next season. According to KickOff, Moremi is one of the players expected to join Pirates at Mayfair next season. The report also mentions that Nkosikhona Ndaba, the Richards Bay FC left-back, and Jayden Rhodes from Cape Town City are on Pirates’ radar.
However, Chiefs are not backing down and are prepared to make an offer for the talented winger. “Chiefs are serious about Tshepang Moremi and are ready to table an offer for him,” an insider revealed. Chiefs are looking to reshape their squad, and Moremi is high on their list of targets.
Pirates Look to Hijack Chiefs’ Move for Midfielder
Last season, Sihle Nduli of Stellenbosch FC was heavily linked with a move to Chiefs, but the deal never materialized as Stellies chose to keep their star midfielder. Now, with the season winding down, Pirates have emerged as the front-runners to sign Nduli, with reports even suggesting that the midfielder has already agreed to join the Buccaneers.
As the two giants battle for these coveted players, the rivalry between Chiefs and Pirates is set to intensify even further in the transfer market.
