Kaizer Chiefs’ Rwandan international goalkeeper, Fiacre Ntwari, could be on his way out of the club at the end of the season. Ntwari, who joined Amakhosi from TS Galaxy at the start of the current season, was initially seen as the successor to Itumeleng Khune. However, due to a shaky start to his Chiefs career, he has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup.
Bruce Bvuma has since become the number one goalkeeper at Chiefs, leaving Ntwari and Brandon Petersen vying for the backup position on the bench. Despite his limited game time at the club, Ntwari has retained his spot as the number one goalkeeper for the Rwanda national team, showcasing his talent on the international stage during the recent FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Reports suggest that European clubs have expressed interest in signing the 25-year-old goalkeeper, prompting speculation about his potential departure from Chiefs in June. It is believed that Chiefs are also looking to offload Ntwari in order to free up a foreign spot in the squad. Currently, the club’s foreign spots are occupied by Ntwari, Edson Castillo, Edmilson Dove, Jody Lilepo, and Inacio Miguel, with Gaston Sirino recently registered as a local player after obtaining South African citizenship.
Furthermore, Castillo, who has been sidelined due to injury for a significant portion of the season, is also rumored to be on his way out of Chiefs. As the club prepares to bolster their squad with new foreign players at the start of the next season, Ntwari and Castillo are reportedly among the players set to make way for the incoming recruits.
The potential departures of Ntwari and Castillo signal a period of transition for Kaizer Chiefs as they look to revamp their squad and make strategic changes ahead of the upcoming season. Stay tuned for further developments on the future of these players and the club’s transfer plans.
