For R40 Million, Kaizer Chiefs Would Sell Their Midfield Player to Zamalek?

Edson Castillo, a midfielder for Kaizer Chiefs, is reportedly coveted by Egyptian powerhouse Zamalek for R40 million.

The 29-year-old South American’s first season at Amakhosi has seen him have mixed fortunes. Despite having a strong start to the season—three goals in his first ten games—Castillo lost his way and found it difficult to establish himself in the middle of the park. His collaboration with Yusuf Maart has frequently come under fire for lacking the spark or originality needed to unite the team during play.

The Kaizer Chiefs player was linked to an R40 million move to Zamalek during the Africa Cup of Nations.

Soccer Laduma claims that Amakhosi would have accepted the Egyptian giants’ offer if it had been for about R40 million, or just under €2 million.

The Venezuelan international, who just competed in World Cup qualifying, is highly sought-after due to his international experience.

It is Said That Kaizer Chiefs Have Set a R40 Million Price Tag for Castillo.

“They have determined the price that will work for Castillo in the event that he leaves before his contract expires, now that the investigation has advanced to the management stage. Because of his skill level and the fact that outside parties are showing interest in him, the board and management believe that R40 million is the fair price for him, according to the publication.

The administration of Kaizer Chiefs has promised supporters that they will sign new players at the end of the season, and maybe the R40 million is what they need to start again. Amakhosi are eager to return to their winning ways because they haven’t tasted silverware in nine years.

Castillo is having difficulty regaining his form, thus the Motaungs could want to consider selling him.
