Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly closing in on a major signing with South African international Monnapule Saleng set to join the club from Orlando Pirates ahead of the upcoming season. According to recent reports, Saleng has already agreed to a pre-contract deal with the Glamour Boys, signaling a fresh start for the talented winger.
Saleng has been sidelined by Orlando Pirates since December due to ongoing off-field contractual disputes with the club’s management. Although he remained physically fit, he has missed every match of the 2025 season so far, unable to take the field amid the unresolved issues. This absence has fueled widespread speculation about his future.
A football analyst speaking exclusively to Briefly News emphasized that while there has been no official announcement yet, the rumors about Saleng moving to Chiefs are strong. The expert also noted how much Saleng could potentially boost Chiefs’ attacking options once he officially joins the squad.
Monnapule Saleng, known for his pace and skill, was a key player for the Sea Robbers before his contract troubles began. The ongoing dispute has left him inactive for months, which only increases the anticipation around his anticipated debut with Chiefs. His move could become one of the most talked-about transfers in South African football ahead of the new season.
Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how this high-profile transfer unfolds and what impact Saleng will have once he finally lines up in the iconic Chiefs jersey.
