Kaizer Chiefs Midfielder Set for Exit as Sekhukhune United Monitor Situation

As the curtain closes on the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season, transfer activity is already beginning to stir, with clubs eyeing reinforcements and offloading players ahead of a busy pre-season. One of the most talked-about potential departures comes from Naturena, where midfielder George Matlou looks increasingly likely to leave Kaizer Chiefs.

Matlou’s contract is set to expire at the end of June, and there are strong indications that a renewal is not on the cards. With just a few weeks remaining on his deal, the midfielder is expected to become a free agent—a development that has not gone unnoticed by other clubs.

Sources close to Sekhukhune United have confirmed that the club is closely monitoring Matlou’s situation at Chiefs. With Babina Noko preparing for a revamped squad next season, Matlou is reportedly one of the players being considered.

“At the moment, the club is looking at several players recommended by the technical team, and George Matlou is believed to be among them,” a source revealed. “They are monitoring the situation at Kaizer Chiefs and waiting to see if he will indeed be released. If that happens, he will be a free agent and free to negotiate directly with Sekhukhune.”

Another insider added further weight to the speculation, saying Matlou’s time with the Glamour Boys appears to be over.

“From the way things are going, it’s unlikely Matlou will play for Chiefs next season. The club is simply waiting for the contract to officially expire on June 30. As things stand, he’s essentially already a free agent,” the source explained.

Matlou’s time at Chiefs has been marked by flashes of promise, but consistent game time proved elusive. Now, with a fresh opportunity on the horizon, the 26-year-old could be poised to reboot his career elsewhere—potentially with Sekhukhune United.

The coming weeks will be key in determining his next move. Whether Babina Noko formalise their interest or other teams step in remains to be seen, but Matlou’s availability is sure to attract attention as clubs across the PSL gear up for a new campaign.
