Kaizer Chiefs are eyeing a significant transfer move for Mamelodi Sundowns’ attacking midfielder, Neo Maema, as part of their strategy for the upcoming season.
Amakhosi are making bold moves in the transfer market, with sources confirming that the club is actively pursuing Maema to boost their midfield and attacking options. Chiefs’ scouting team has been impressed with Maema’s technical abilities, creativity, and overall contribution on the field, seeing him as an ideal player to strengthen their squad. Chiefs believe his style of play aligns with their long-term goals, making him a key target for the next transfer window.
Sundowns’ squad restructuring opens the door for Maema’s departure An insider has revealed that Sundowns are planning to downsize their squad at the end of the season, which has caught the attention of Chiefs. The move could provide Chiefs with an opportunity to sign Maema if Sundowns decide to part ways with him.
“Chiefs have been monitoring Maema for a while, and now with Sundowns looking to reduce their squad size, they believe they have a real chance of signing him,” the source shared.
Chiefs’ squad changes and Maema’s potential move Kaizer Chiefs are already working behind the scenes on a squad overhaul, with some players expected to leave at the end of the season. Chiefs are evaluating which players will be released or loaned out while finalizing their target list, with Maema at the forefront of their plans.
Maema’s limited playing time sparks transfer speculation Since his move from Bloemfontein Celtic in 2021, Maema has faced limited game time at Sundowns, having only played five matches this season after making 16 appearances the previous year. With his opportunities at Sundowns few and far between, Maema could be seeking a fresh challenge, and Chiefs are ready to make their move to bring him to Naturena. His potential arrival would bring much-needed creativity and attacking strength to Amakhosi’s midfield.
