Kaizer Chiefs set sights on Mamelodi Sundowns star in a major transfer move.
Chiefs are making bold moves in the transfer market as they prepare for the upcoming season. Sources close to the club have confirmed that Amakhosi are actively pursuing Mamelodi Sundowns’ attacking midfielder, Neo Maema, in a bid to bolster their squad.
The Chiefs’ scouting and recruitment team has closely analyzed Maema’s playing style, technical abilities, and overall impact on the field. They view him as a dynamic addition who can strengthen the squad’s attacking options and provide much-needed creativity in the midfield. With a long-term vision in mind, Chiefs believe Maema’s skill set aligns perfectly with their strategic objectives, making him a priority signing for the upcoming season.
Sundowns’ squad overhaul opens the door for Maema
A reliable insider has revealed that Sundowns are planning to downsize their squad at the end of the season, a development that has caught Chiefs’ attention.
“As for Sundowns, they are looking at downsizing the squad at the end of the season, and Chiefs are believed to be looking to use that window space to pursue Maema. They have apparently been monitoring him for some time and now have the chance to sign him if Sundowns let him go. So yes, it’s true, Chiefs are believed to be pursuing Neo Maema,” the source disclosed.
Chiefs preparing for player exits and arrivals
Kaizer Chiefs are already strategizing for a squad overhaul. With some players expected to leave at the end of the current campaign.
“They are working around the clock behind closed doors as they decide which players to release or loan out. At the same time, they are finalizing their list of potential signings. With Neo Maema emerging as one of their main targets,” the source added.
Maema’s limited game time sparks transfer rumour
Since joining Sundowns from Bloemfontein Celtic in 2021, the 29-year-old midfielder has struggled for game time. This season, he has only featured in five matches after making 16 appearances and scoring one goal in the previous campaign.
With limited opportunities at Sundowns, Maema could be looking for a fresh start. And Chiefs appear ready to capitalise on the situation. If the deal materializes, his arrival could add much-needed attacking creativity to Amakhosi’s midfield.
