Where will Bathusi Aubaas be playing his football next season?

Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, and Kaizer Chiefs have all been linked with a move for the player - and one of them could have landed him.

As noted by FarPost, TS Galaxy have confirmed the player has been sold.

Aubaas sat in the stands while the Galaxy squad for the new season was introduced, adding to speculation that he was leaving.

Club owner, Tim Sukazi, then confirmed that the defensive midfielder was sold but would not disclose which club he had been sold to.

“Yes, Aubaas is here, but of course, we didn’t bring him up. It means that we, as TS Galaxy, have found a new home for him,” said Sukazi.
“So, I will wait for our sister club that has secured his future to make the announcement. He has done well for the club, and his departure is a painful and emotional one,” he added.

Aubaas joined The Rockets from Free State Stars in 2019 and has become an integral part of the side.

As noted by Transfermarkt, he has played 92 games for the side in all competitions. He also earned a call-up to the national squad this year.

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs dipped into the transfer market to bolster their squad ahead of next season as they seek to reclaim glory after a dismal last season.

After finishing fifth in the premiership last term, the club has since appointed Molefi Ntseki as coach and have now brought new big guns into the fold as well.

Many of these players were signed by the Amakhosi previously but have now been officially unveiled by the side as their newest stars, Sports Brief reported.
