At the end of the season, eight Chiefs players' contracts expire. Furthermore, with the DStv Premiership nearing an end, Amakhosi management will have to make some tough decisions.
In light of this, let's take a closer look at the Chiefs players who are likely to leave.
A new coach is about to be hired, so several players' contracts are set to expire soon.
Eight Chiefs players' contracts expire at the end of the season, and the DStv Premiership is about to end, so Amakhosi management will have to make some difficult decisions.
This is why we examine the Chiefs players who are likely to leave the team.
NATURENA'S FIVE CHIEFS PLAYERS LIKELY TO LEAVE
According to reports on iDiskiTimes, Amakhosi management have decided to let Jasond Gonzales go. George Matlou and Siyethembe Sithebe are also unhappy with their lack of regular playing time.
The fact that they sit behind Yusuf Maart, Sibongiseni Mthetwa, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Edson Castillo makes this unlikely to change.
Therefore, it isn't surprising that these midfielders may leave at the end of the season. Keagan Dolly and Itumeleng Khune face similar decisions.

At the time of publishing, Khune is likely to hang up his boots at the end of the season. Initially, the last-standing Amakhosi legend was eager to extend his contract. However, when he reportedly came to training drunk, his chances of earning a contract extension took a massive hit. Considering the club's zero-tolerance policy towards substances, it's not surprising that Dumisani Zuma left after the same action.
Finally, the PSL's highest-paid star has missed most of the recent campaign due to injury. In light of this, the club is considering offering him a lower salary. The next coach of the Chiefs will have the final say on these players, one that could lead him to consider other options if he is unhappy with the offer.
