Chiefs have previously insisted that they won’t let their star schemer go for anything less than R40 million.
“It looks like Zamalek is very serious about Edson . At first, it was just monitoring and inquiring, but now it’s believed that they have contacted Chiefs to talk about the possible move. But yet, there has been contact from Zamalek. Now it’s all up to Chiefs to make a decision.” said the source.Venezuela played two friendlies in the USA this past week. Venezuela is now, down from 50th. Castillo was a 78th-minute substitute against European champions Italy, in a match which the Azzurri won 2-1.
Both Castillo and Yusuf Maart, Chiefs’ regular central midfield pairing, are suspended for their clash at Cape Town City on Saturday. The Citizens host the Glamour Boys at Athlone Stadium. Kickoff is at 15:30.Since promotion to the top tier as recently as 2021/22, Sekhukhune has become an established DStv Premiership team. They finished 11th in their first-ever campaign and followed it up with a creditable 7th place last season, finishing below Stellenbosch only on goal difference.
