Kaizer Chiefs FC's Glody Makabi Lilepo is leaving the club after a profitable stint.

What happened?

Lilepo has been at Kaizer Chiefs FC since the beginning of last year, but has now opted to exit. He has received multiple pay rises, with the latest increase happening in the last 12 months of his contract. This has put the 29-year-old in the ranks of the better-paid players at Kaizer Chiefs FC.

Why it matters for Kaizer Chiefs FC

Despite his financial gains, Lilepo has chosen to leave Kaizer Chiefs FC, with two North African clubs, AS FAR and Al Ahli Benghazi, offering over €500 000 for his transfer. The transfer fee is expected to be confirmed soon, with Lilepo set to receive a better contract in a tax-friendly environment.

What comes next?

Lilepo's real estate portfolio in DR Congo has tripled in value during his time at Kaizer Chiefs FC, with a guaranteed base income of millions of Rands. He is expected to secure a lucrative deal in North Africa, which will have a defining effect on his life for the next three years. The transfer windows in Morocco and Libya will remain open for at least another two months, allowing Lilepo to finalize his move.
