CHIEFS PART WAYS WITH R6-MILLION MIDFIELDER
Chiefs have decided to part ways with Edson Castillo.
“We are very grateful to Kaizer Chiefs for the opportunity and the time Edson spent with the club. The experience in South Africa, both on and off the pitch, was very positive and helped him grow as a player and as a person,” a representative of Andrade Sports Group told iDiski Times.
“However, as you know, the current situation with the new coach made it difficult for us to continue being part of the project. Now, we believe it’s the right moment to look for a new challenge in Edson’s career,” he added.
“We are open to staying in the African market, as we truly believe the experience with Kaizer Chiefs and in South Africa was enriching and highly valuable,” he concluded.
Therefore, Castillo will become Chiefs’ SEVENTH player departure. To date, these FIVE Amakhosi player departures have been confirmed. According to Transfermarkt, he is valued at over R6 million.
Meanwhile, Yusuf Maart is heading to SV Reid, he is Chiefs’ SIXTH player exit.
