Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Edson Castillo could be set for a surprise exit with the player said to be exploring his options.
The 31-year-old became an instant fan favourite at the club after scoring five goals from midfield in his first season in 32 games but his second was blighted by a broken fibula injury limiting him to just seven games all season.
He signed a new one-year deal with an option to extend back in February and returned to the field towards the latter stages of the season but there are mixed reviews within the technical team over the future of the player.
This has led to his representatives seeking options in the off-season, should the player not be secured with regular first team minutes in the upcoming campaign.
It’s been said head coach Nasreddine Nabi could be open to his potential exit, allowing the club to be more flexible in the market as they look to lure new foreign recruits to bolster the squad for the upcoming season.
