According to a Briefly News source at Chiefs, Du Preez is a valued member of the Chiefs squad and they are keen to keep him out of the clutches of overseas clubs.
The source said:
“Du Preez is a key player for Chiefs, and they are more than pleased to have him part of the squad. His skills have attracted interest from overseas, but the club feels that his skills are needed for their benefit. Du Preez offers many options for coach Nabi, and that is why the club has offered him the new deal.”
Du Preez is admired by local fans according to the tweet below:
Chiefs build attacking options
During the January transfer window, Chiefs brought in two new attackers, Tashreeq Morris and Glody Lilelpo, adding competition for Du Preez.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi has seen his options limited recently after Morris picked up an injury while Lilepo continues to shine on the wing.
Du Preez prefers playing through the middle and could get more game time due to Morris’ injury while Nabi has often used Ranga Chivavio in the role.

Fans celebrate Du Preez’s new deal
Local football fans reacted on social media to praise Chiefs for Du Preez’s new deal, while others said the club made the move to cash out on the R40 million-rated star.

“Du Preez will be very useful in a 4-4-2 formation with Lilepo leading the attack, but it's up to him to raise his game and convert more chances.”
Akhona Brown Gontsana wants Du Preez to do better:
“If this guy had converted half of the chances he gets, Chiefs wouldn't be without a trophy since he joined three seasons ago.”
Lelo Lendaman Tabata is happy:
“I'm very happy with Ashley du Preez. I want to thank the management for securing him; I love him as a player. He just needs to regain his confidence and work on his finishing.”
Motshere Moloto is excited:
“This is the kind of news that gets the Amakhosi faithful excited! Great news for the Glamour Boys family; this is a big boost for the team! Keep shining, Ashley! This is definitely a step in the right direction for Chiefs.”
Mazwi Gina says Chiefs management has a plan:
“KC management is good at business. They are gonna sell him for a huge amount of money.”
