Kaizer Chiefs could make an improved offer for Stellenbosch FC star Fawaaz Basadien after it was revealed that the player’s 30% sell-on clause expires at the end of June 2025.

Basadien is a long-standing target for Chiefs and the club has reportedly faced several rejections for the Bafana Bafana star.

Chiefs are determined to sign a new left-back after Bradley Cross failed to impress in the position since joining at the start of the season, with Edmilson Dove recently filling in.

According to a Briefly News source at Chiefs, the club wants to sign a new left-back and has identified Basadien as the ideal target, yet they face competition from rivals Orlando Pirates.

The source said:

“The left-back position is one that the coach wants to strengthen next season and a few options are being looked at. Fawaaz is a talented player that Chiefs have shown an interest in signing and the current situation is being monitored by all the parties. In recent times, we have seen how management is willing to back the coach [Nabi] so something could happen before the start of next season.”

Juust Say Blekbongz said Basadien must ignore Chiefs:

“He'll be ruined, he must go to Pirates to replace Maela or Sundowns to replace Modiba.”

Isaac Kegaogetšwe Mokganyetši said Chiefs would be a downgrade:

“Basadien is used to playing for Bafana Bafana and CAF. He can't be expected to play Cufa Cup. You want to traumatize him the same way you did Sirino.”

Mputlane Radi said Cheifs must shift their focus:

“Do Chiefs still need him? Dove fitted in that position like a glove, we can move to find a better striker and playmaker.”
