! [ JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – DECEMBER 23: Edson Daniel Castillo of Kaizer Chiefs during the DStv Premiership match between Kaizer Chiefs and Richards Bay at FNB Stadium on December 23, 2023 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The sources have added that the club has reflected on how they got the player at the beginning of this season and examined his value.
“Now that the inquiry has reached the management stage they have come up with the price that would fit Castillo if he is to leave before his contract expires. He is a quality player and for him to attract interest from outside means they have seen something and that’s why the board and management think that the right price could be around R40 million,” said the Siya source. “It’s not like there is anything official (from Zamalek) at the moment but they are preparing for any eventuality and hence they have come up with that price tag,” the source told Soccer Laduma.

“I don’t think they would want to wait for him to end his contract before cashing out on him. So they will make sure whatever offer comes through meets their demands which at the moment stands at R40 million,” the source observed. Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment but no response was received at the time of publication.
