The Siya crew has been led to believe that Kaizer Chiefs have made contact with Ranga Chivaviro's camp to see if there is a possibility of the Marumo Gallants striker joining them for next season. As things stand, Amakhosi are set to part ways with Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana, with the club understood have identified Chivaviro as a target for next season.
The burly marksman has attracted interest from Tanzanian giants Young Africans, while Orlando Pirates are also sniffing around, with Eva Nga likely to make an exit in the coming weeks. With Gallants now relegated to the Motsepe Foundation Championship, Soccer Laduma has it on good authority that the player will leave and right now he is weighing up his options together with his representatives.
The Glamour Boys are in the market for strikers and have, in fact, got a list, with Khanyisa Mayo and Iqraam Rayners believed to be on it. The challenge with the aforementioned duo, though, is that they are not going to come cheap, which could force the Soweto giants to look elsewhere if they are not willing to pay big money for the strikers.
Chivaviro is understood to have become an option for the Naturena-based side and more discussions are expected to go on in the coming weeks to see if they can snap him up ahead of the other clubs interested in his services.
Gallants have an option to extend the player's contract, but insiders from Chivaviro's camp have informed this publication that the Limpopo outfit has not done so.
This is despite chairman Abram Sello telling the media after the awards ceremony on Sunday that they have exercised the option. Amakhosi might pull out of the race if Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have indeed exercised the option in his deal, as that would mean they need to pay a transfer fee.
