Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly tabled a firm offer for Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner, placing the Soweto giants in pole position to secure the 28-year-old shot-stopper. Leaner is currently a free agent after parting ways with Sekhukhune United this week, and according to SABC Sport, only the final formalities—personal terms and a medical—remain before the move is completed. This development marks a significant shift in the race for Leaner, who had attracted strong interest from both Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu, though Pirates have since pulled out of the chase.
Leaner impressed with Babina Noko this past season, earning a call-up to the senior national team as a reward for his performances and professionalism. Sekhukhune United publicly thanked the goalkeeper for his commitment and quality, highlighting that his dedication had been recognised at the highest level. The move to Chiefs represents a clear step up for Leaner, but it also places him in a highly competitive environment. Amakhosi are actively
