Kaizer Chiefs now one step closer to signing ex-Atletico striker?
Kaizer Chiefs could be on the verge of finally signing a striker according to the latest reports.
It is no secret that Chiefs are looking to bolster their attack in this coming window and may have a solution.
Chiefs searching for a striker
New coach Nasreddine Nabi has been crying out for a need to sign a quality and experienced striker. In the previous window, he was linked to his former trusted striker Fiston Mayele. There were even unconfirmed rumours that Chiefs made a R15 million bid for the player in that window. In the end, it was acknowledged by all parties that the deal would be difficult to push through. This because Pyramid FC were not willing to let go of their top goal scorer and asset after just one season.
There were then rumours that Chiefs would come back and test the resolve of Pyramids with a R20 million offer. Those seem to have died down with no mention of Mayele being a target for a while now. That may be due to Amakhosi finding an alternative target instead! This week this publication reported that they’re targeting former Switzerland youth International Ruben del Campo!
Began talks with Del Campo
It was confirmed that Chiefs were just one of many clubs, some abroad that are in talks with Del Campo. Now if Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jnr can convince him to come, he is just one step closer! This after his former club Ottawa Atletico confirmed has departure, effectively meaning he now has his clearance
“Following a period of negotiation, Ottawa has declined 2025 options on the contracts for goalkeeper Rayane Yesli and defender Zachary Roy. Contracts for Ollie Bassett, Rubén del Campo and Jesús del Amo expired on December 31, 2024.” Wrote the club’s website.
Now has his clearance
Del Campo has mostly played in second tier football where ever he has gone. In the 154 games he has played throughout his senior and junior career, he has scored just 42 goals. Chiefs fans, with those stats do you think Del Campo is the one to improve your fortunes upfront? Feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings in the comments below.
