1. Itumeleng Khune

The Bafana Bafana legend has spent 25 years with the Soweto giants and was given a befitting farewell in the club's last home game in the 2023-24 season.

There are reports that Khune wants to continue at Kaizer Chiefs, but he's not satisfied with the deal the club is offering him.

He has struggled for game time, only making five appearances in all competitions last campaign and conceding six goals.

2. Brandon Peterson

Peterson is surplus to requirements at Chiefs with the club adding a new goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari to their ranks.

The 29-year-old is not the first choice at the club and should be shipped off this summer.

3. Happy Mashiane

Mashiane's chances of playing next season at Kaizer Chiefs were reduced after the club secured the signing of Rushwin Dortley from Cape Town Spurs.
