The situation around Congolese winger Glody Lilepo creates significant interest in South African football. Speculation grew this week regarding a potential move to Europe. Reports suggested a transfer to an unnamed Belgian club might be close.
Social Media Post Sparks Transfer Rumours
Lilepo recently posted a message on social media that included the word ‘Goodbye’. This note fueled speculation about a departure from Naturena before the next season. The winger has a contract with the club that expires in June next year.
According to a report by kickoff.com, sources close to the player indicate there is also interest from clubs in North Africa and the Middle East.
Current Status and Statistics
Despite the discussions, the player remains part of the squad. A source clarified the current situation:
“Lilepo is a Kaizer Chiefs player. There are reports that has signed in Belgium. Those reports are not true. The player is currently in Cape Town and enjoying a holiday with his family.”
The source added that Kaizer Chiefs holds the authority to decide on a sale. The player is expected to honour the existing contract.
Lilepo joined the club in January 2025. The forward has contributed 15 goals and five assists during his time with the team.
