Glody Lilepo: Kaizer Chiefs Told Why They Should Reconsider Selling Star Player

• Kaizer Chiefs are set to lose one of their key players, Glody Lilepo, but they've been told to reconsider the move
• The Glamour Boys are set to participate in continental football next season, but they might be without the Congolese forward
• A football analyst in a chat with Briefly News issued a strong warning to Kaizer Chiefs about selling the striker this summer

A football analyst has urged Kaizer Chiefs not to sell Congolese striker Glody Lilepo this summer, warning that parting ways with the forward would be a costly mistake for Amakhosi.

Lilepo has established himself as one of Kaizer Chiefs' most influential players since he arrived at the club. The striker is reportedly attracting interest from Libyan side Al Ahly, raising concerns among supporters and observers about a potential departure during the current transfer window.

The Congolese striker was part of the Kaizer Chiefs team that ended the club's trophy drought during the 2024-25 season under Nasreddine Nabi. He helped the club win the Nedbank Cup after defeating Orlando Pirates in the final.

Analyst warns of long-term damage

In an exclusive interview with Briefly News, football analyst Uche Anuma did not hold back in his assessment of what a sale would mean for the Soweto giants.

"Kaizer Chiefs selling Lilepo this summer is them losing their best player, and it would haunt them next season," Anuma said during the exclusive interview.

"Lilepo has been an important player since joining the club, especially his contribution in their attack, selling him now without a worthy replacement would affect Kaizer Chiefs' season."

The analyst's warning reflects a broader concern about the club's ability to replace a striker of Lilepo's quality, particularly as Amakhosi look to mount a more competitive campaign in the seasons ahead.

Lilepo's impact at Amakhosi

Since joining Kaizer Chiefs, the Congolese forward has made a notable impression, becoming a consistent attacking threat and a key figure in the team's forward line.

His performances have drawn attention from clubs beyond South Africa's borders, with the reported interest from Al Ahly underscoring his growing profile on the continent.

Whether Kaizer Chiefs will resist the interest or sanction a move for the striker remains to be seen as the transfer window progresses.

"As I said earlier, selling Lilepo this summer would be detrimental to Amakhosi's season. The attack needs better reinforcement, not losing another important player in that same department," Anuma added.

"If they can sign Peter Shaluile or Langelihle Phili, well, they can let go of the Congolese, but it's not looking like they would add another player to their attack this summer."
