Kaizer Chiefs Set for Massive Payday As Glody Lilepo’s Transfer Fee Nearly Doubles

• Kaizer Chiefs could be on the verge of turning a healthy profit on one of their key signings after fresh transfer interest intensified
• A fresh transfer development has reportedly pushed Glody Lilepo's asking price significantly higher than when AmaKhosi signed him
• The latest improved offer could leave AmaKhosi with a major transfer decision before the new PSL season begins

Kaizer Chiefs could be set for a sizeable financial boost after a reported increase in the transfer fee being offered for winger Glody Makabi Lilepo.

The Congolese international has emerged as a top target for Moroccan club AS FAR, with KickOff reporting that the latest offer is now almost double what Chiefs paid to sign him just 18 months ago.

Glody Lilepo's value climbs

According to KickOff, Chiefs paid around €500,000 to sign Lilepo from French club Valenciennes in January 2025. The publication reports that AS FAR initially offered US$700,000 (about R12.4 million) before increasing their bid to US$1 million (about R17.8 million).

The report added that Chiefs would prefer the full fee to be paid upfront rather than in instalments.

Kaizer Chiefs prepare for possible exit

According to KickOff, Chiefs have left Lilepo out of their pre-season camp in Spain as transfer talks continue. The 28-year-old scored 15 goals and registered five assists during his time at Naturena, helping the club lift the Nedbank Cup.

Morocco's transfer window opens on 20 July 2026, with further developments expected in the coming days.

Kaizer Chiefs could secure major transfer profit

If the deal is completed, Chiefs stand to make almost double their initial investment in Lilepo while freeing up space in the squad ahead of the new PSL season.

With AS FAR reportedly increasing their offer, all eyes are now on whether Chiefs will agree to a deal that could deliver a substantial return on their investment.
