The brewing transfer saga surrounding Glody Makabi Lilepo has taken a dramatic turn, drawing sharp commentary from one of Naturena’s revered veterans. As North African giants begin a heavy bidding war for the Congolese star, former Kaizer Chiefs winger Robson Muchichwa has issued a blunt wake-up call to the attacker: honour your contract and respect the club.
While Lilepo was a notable absentee from Amakhosi’s pre-season tour of Spain, he was recently spotted training at the club’s home grounds, fueling massive speculation about his immediate future.
The North African Bidding War
Lilepo’s stellar 18-month stint at Naturena—where he racked up an impressive 20 goal contributions—has made him the target of a massive transfer tug-of-war. The 28-year-old is currently being monitored by a host of continental heavyweights:
- Zamalek
- AS FAR
- RS Berkane
- Raja Casablanca
Muchichwa’s Blunt Advice: Respect the Signature
Speaking out on the mounting transfer noise, Muchichwa insisted that Lilepo must maintain total professionalism and wait for the clubs to agree on a fee rather than trying to force his way out of the Soweto giants.
“When you sign a contract, you need to honour it, and whoever wants you must buy you,” Muchichwa told KickOff. “As a player, if Chiefs don’t want to let go of you, it doesn’t mean you are being forced to play, but you are honouring what you agreed on. Remember, nobody forced you to sign that contract in the first place.”
Don’t Block a Massive Opportunity
Despite his firm stance on contract loyalty, the former Amakhosi wing-wizard conceded that if the financial and professional opportunity is too big to pass up, Kaizer Chiefs management should negotiate in good faith.
“He needs to go and sit down with the club so that some agreement could be reached. Maybe for him it’s a big opportunity, so we also don’t need to close doors for the player if that’s the case,” Muchichwa added.
With the transfer window reaching its peak, the ball remains firmly in Kaizer Chiefs’ court as they decide whether to cash in on their prized attacking asset or hold him to his deal.
