Kaizer Chiefs defender Xolani Cossa’s proposed move to Gomora United FC has reportedly been placed on hold, with the player not travelling with the club for their league opener.
According to Tshepang Mailwane, Cossa was left out of Gomora United’s travelling squad as negotiations between the two clubs continue. The defender had been part of Gomora United’s pre-season preparations and appeared to be on course for a move, but the deal has yet to receive the final green light from Kaizer Chiefs.
The latest development could now create uncertainty over Cossa’s immediate future. While Gomora United remain interested in securing his services, Chiefs’ current situation in defence could have a major influence on whether the transfer is eventually completed.
The Glamour Boys are reportedly dealing with defensive injuries, which has left the club assessing their available options. With the new season underway, Chiefs may need additional depth at the back, and Cossa could potentially be required to return to Naturena if the club decides that he is needed.
Cossa’s involvement in Gomora United’s pre-season squad had suggested that the move was progressing, but the latest setback means the defender’s future remains unclear for now.
For Gomora United, the priority will be to receive clarity from Kaizer Chiefs before proceeding with the deal. Meanwhile, Chiefs will have to weigh up their defensive needs before giving the final approval.
As things stand, the deal remains on hold, with negotiations continuing behind the scenes. Cossa’s next destination could ultimately depend on the severity of Chiefs’ defensive injury situation and whether the club decides to keep him as part of their squad.
Fans will now be waiting for further updates as both clubs work towards a resolution.
