Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly encountered difficulties in their pursuit of TS Galaxy winger Seluleko Mahlambi after the Soweto-based club saw a R4 million offer for the young attacker rejected. The reported setback comes as Amakhosi continue exploring options to strengthen their squad ahead of upcoming challenges.
The Glamour Boys are understood to have identified the 22-year-old as a potential addition who could improve their attacking options. However, their efforts to secure his signature have reportedly stalled following TS Galaxy’s decision not to accept the initial proposal.
According to information shared by SNAWA, Chiefs submitted an offer worth R4 million for Mahlambi. However, TS Galaxy chairman Tim Sukazi reportedly values the winger at more than R10 million, creating a considerable gap between the two clubs’ expectations.
The difference in valuation could complicate negotiations if Chiefs decide to continue pursuing the player. With the reported asking price substantially exceeding their initial bid, Amakhosi may have to reconsider their approach to the potential transfer.
Mahlambi is considered a promising attacking prospect in South African football. His pace, ability to challenge defenders in one-on-one situations and potential to create opportunities in the final third make him an attractive option for teams seeking additional attacking quality. At 22, he also has considerable time to develop his abilities and gain further experience.
For Kaizer Chiefs, improving the squad remains an important objective as they aim to become stronger contenders in the Betway Premiership. The club’s supporters expect improved performances and a serious challenge for major trophies, making recruitment an important part of their plans.
However, securing Mahlambi’s services could require a larger financial commitment than Chiefs initially anticipated. The club will need to assess whether increasing its offer would represent a worthwhile investment while considering other possible targets.
From TS Galaxy’s standpoint, the reported valuation suggests that the club is not prepared to part ways with the winger for the amount proposed. Sukazi’s reported demand of more than R10 million highlights the substantial difference between the two sides.
Transfer discussions frequently involve disagreements over player valuations, as selling clubs seek competitive fees while potential buyers attempt to manage their budgets.
If Chiefs remain determined to sign Mahlambi, they could submit an improved bid or negotiate a compromise. Nevertheless, no further offer has been officially confirmed.
For now, the reported R4 million proposal remains rejected, while TS Galaxy are said to want more than R10 million. Whether the clubs eventually reach an agreement remains uncertain, and the reported details have yet to receive independent confirmation.
