Orlando Pirates are in pursuit of strengthening their squad during the January transfer window, but risks losing out on a Bafana Bafana star, Kwayiba. The club is actively pursuing multiple deals, with Kwayiba being a key target. Chippa United, Kwayiba's current club, is also interested in retaining him and has offered a new contract.
Orlando Pirates are attempting to finalize several transfers during the January transfer window but risk missing out on a Bafana Bafana international. Despite this, the club is actively seeking to strengthen its squad. Three deals were anticipated, one of which involved Luthuli. However, Luthuli is not the only midfielder with Chippa connections who has caught the Pirates' eye. Previous reports indicated that the Buccaneers are interested in signing Kwayiba .
The interest from Orlando Pirates remains strong, and the club is eager to prevent losing him for free if he doesn't sign a new contract during this transfer window. His current contract expires in June 2025, after he joined from Pretoria Callies in 2023 on an initial two-year deal. Chippa United is now offering him a new two-year improved contract until June 2027. Although the deal is not finalized, the player prefers to be cautious, knowing that Chippa wishes to retain him, rather than rushing into an uncertain agreement. The current offer stands for two years, and the outcome remains to be seen. The source confirmed that extending Kwayiba's contract benefits Chippa United in multiple ways. If Kwayiba transfers to Pirates, they will profit from the sale as they will have a contracted player to sell. Conversely, if he remains with Chippa, they guarantee his continued contribution to the team for the next two years. Therefore, the two-year contract offer is advantageous for both the club and the player at present
