Kaizer Chiefs plans to release striker Christian Saile in January to cut costs and make room for new signings. The club's patience with the player is running thin due to his underwhelming performances.
Kaizer Chiefs are set to release a forward in January, even without offers, as they seek to cut costs and make room for new signings.
“They have tried to give him a chance and be patient with him, but they are not getting the returns they expected,” an insider shared. Despite some interest from other clubs, the striker has failed to deliver the expected performances on the field. With the club already mindful of its salary bill, letting Saile go without compensation offers a financial reprieve. The Amakhosi are reportedly focused on trimming costs and creating space for potential new signings, including a striker and a winger—positions that Saile can play, but has not excelled in.
Despite the growing likelihood of an exit, Saile’s contract with Kaizer Chiefs runs until June 2026, which means the club will have to carefully navigate his release.
