Caleb Bimenyimana’s Future at Kaizer Chiefs Hangs in the Balance
It is no longer a secret that striker Caleb Bimenyimana is not part of the plans going forward at Kaizer Chiefs, with the club looking to get rid of him.
However, recent developments suggest that his departure may not be as straightforward as initially anticipated.
Bimenyimana’s Underwhelming Season:
Bimenyimana has been aware for some time that Chiefs were seeking to offload him after an underwhelming season at the club.
Despite the signings of Ashley du Preez, Bimenyimana, and Christian Saile to address the lack of finishing, Arthur Zwane, the coach, often expressed frustration with the team’s inability to score goals.
The Need for a Revamp:
The latest reports indicate that Kaizer Chiefs is preparing for a comprehensive revamp, focusing not only on age but also on overall player contribution.
Among those who have failed to meet expectations is striker Caleb Bimenyimana.
Strange Decision and Clear Exclusion:
Bimenyimana’s arrival at Chiefs seemed peculiar, as he was initially released after a trial during the pre-season.
It raised questions about why Zwane and the management signed a player who was not initially considered a perfect fit for the club.
Furthermore, it was reported that Zwane openly told the Burundian international in front of his teammates that he was not part of his plans going forward.
Overseas Offer Rejected:
While there were rumors of an overseas offer that could have provided an escape for Bimenyimana, he reportedly rejected it.
Consequently, it appears that the player may be forced to remain at Kaizer Chiefs for the upcoming season.
Challenges in Offloading Bimenyimana:
According to a source from the same publication, Bimenyimana’s return to the club after performing well for Burundi in the AFCON qualifier indicates that he will be participating in the pre-season.
The source suggests that it might prove challenging to find a suitable transfer option for him during this window.
Fans Concerned About the Outcome:
The initial revelation by FARPost that Bimenyimana was unwanted at Chiefs has now created worry among Amakhosi supporters.
As the latest reports indicate the possibility of him staying, fans are left uncertain about the future and impact of the player at the club.
Conclusion:
Caleb Bimenyimana’s situation at Kaizer Chiefs remains uncertain.
Despite the club’s intentions to offload him due to an underwhelming season, recent developments, including his rejection of an overseas offer, indicate that he may remain at the club.
With the upcoming revamp and the challenges in finding a suitable transfer option, the striker’s future at Kaizer Chiefs hangs in the balance, leaving fans concerned about the potential outcomes.
