Amakhosi's fans and other rivals are earnestly waiting for the club to appoint their next coach. However, another important thing going on at the club is player transfers, and Amakhosi could lose some of its top stars this summer.

Several players are not guaranteed to stay beyond this summer, and one of them is Du Preez. The South African forward could be on his way out of the club, with a Portuguese club showing strong interest in signing him.

According to a report by Soccer Laduma, per the South African, a European side based in Portugal, Vitoria SC, are said to be interested in signing Du Preez from Kaizer Chiefs this summer.

The pacy forward joined Amakhosi in 2022 from Stellenbosch FC and signed a long-term deal with the Soweto giants.

The latest reports confirm that Vitoria SC sent their scouts to watch Du Preez in the South African league and are now willing to pay up to R20 million for his services.

The Glamour Boys have yet to approve the deal, as the new coach might be the person to give the final verdict about the transfer.

Top 5 earners at Kaizer Chiefs

With the imminent departure of Itumeleng Khune from Naturena, Keagan Dolly is said to be the front-runner to take over the club's captaincy.
