According to a Briefly News source at Chiefs, the club have been interested in Thikazi and has been boosted by the financial struggles at Royal AM.
The source said:
“Chiefs have been interested in the player [Thikazi] for some time and the situation at Royal AM could make things easier for the club to possibly strike a deal. Chiefs believe he is the type of player who can fit in well at the club and things are looking good for him to join sooner rather than later, but of course there are a lot of things going on right now that need to be sorted first.”
Other PSL clubs are also interested in Thikazi, according to the tweet below:
Thikazi faces an uncertain future at Royal AM
Royal AM has been suspended from action, with their last match coming in December 2024 as SARS investigates club boss Shauwn Mkhize over a R40 million tax debt.
The situation has worsened for the club after losing an appeal to lift the ban, while they face PSL expulsion and a forced sale to recover the debt.
Royal AM are bottom of the PSL log and could recoup some of their debt with the R9 million sale of Thikazi to Chiefs, who could join the Soweto side in the 2025/2026 season.
